Tusshar to concentrate on comedies!

January 29th, 2009

Tusshar Kapoor's New Year started on a bright note as he won two awards, Best Actor in a Comic Role at the Screen Awards and Favourite Actor in a Comic Role at the Lions Gold Awards, (simultaneously) for his role in GOLMAAL RETURNS. And looks like these awards have inspired Tusshar so much that he has now decided to concentrate only on comedies for a while.

As may be recalled, Tusshar started his career with a romantic film, MUJHE KUCH KEHNA HAI, opposite Kareena Kapoor and the film was a good hit. He then went on to do serious films like KHAKEE, where he held his own against the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar, and walked away with a lot of critical acclaim in SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA, but it appears that destiny had other plans. His tryst with comedy began with his sister's Balaji Telefilms venture, KYA KOOL HAIN HUM, the success of which established his comic image. It was followed by the path-breaking role of a partially mute but extremely lovable character in Rohit Shetty's GOLMAAL. And of course his character in the award winning GOLMAAL RETURNS was an extension of the same character that he played in GOLMAAL.

His next two films, which are under production, Rumi Jaffri's LIFE PARTNER (where he sports a moustache!) and Shree Ashtavinayak's DO LUCKY (earlier RUN BHOLA RUN) are both comic fares and coincidently both star ex-comedy king, Govinda. Tusshar confirms that the Neeraj Vora directed RUN BHOLA RUN is complete and is likely to see a February/March release.

Well, it appears that just like last year, audience are in for a real comic treat this year too from Tusshar Kapoor!
