I WAS HOPING AKSHAY SIR WOULD BE COMFORTABLE PLAYING A CHARACTER OF A TRANSGENDER AND THE WHOLE IDEA OF BEING POSSESSED BY A TRANSGENDER’S GHOST. THANKFULLY HE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THAT. HE TOOK IT UP AS A CHALLENGE AS HE WANTED TO SHOW HIS AUDIENCE SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Tusshar Kapoor has always impressed us with his sincerity. He’s known to give his hundred per cent to every project and has made a name for himself as a dependable actor over the years. After dabbling in drama and action, he found his forte in comedy. He features prominently in Rohit Shetty comedies, as well as raunchy rom coms. Tusshar became the first celebrity to have a baby through surrogacy. Fatherhood very much becomes him and his son Laksshya completes him. He’s been a hands-on father, not shying away from diaper duties. He’s currently giving his son company during the online classes, reliving his own childhood all over again. His sister Ekta Kapoor has been the producer in the family and now Tusshar has followed suit. He launched his own production house, Tusshar Entertainment, sometime ago. The horror comedy Laxmii, starring Akshay Kumar, was the first film he produced under his own banner, in partnership with Fox Star Studios and Cape Of Good Hope Films. Excerpts from a tete-a-tete about the new changes and challenges of his life...
