Looking for Love

After a great 2011,Tusshar Kapoor now wants to play a romantic hero.

Dressed in a white skivvy,skinny white pants and white leather shoes to match,this was a retro avatar Tusshar Kapoor just couldnt refuse. I am my fathers son,its in my genes,in my body language and his moves come naturally to me, says this Kapoor,who simply loved the jumping jack routine in his upcoming flick Chaar Din Ki Chandni,which releases on March 9. A splitting image of his father,Kapoor shook a Jeetu leg to the old hit Chandni (from the film Chandni),against a psychedelic backdrop of matkis,with co-star Kulraj Randhawa. The director,Samir Karnik,made the Deols dance to Dharamendras signature style in Yamla Pagla Deewana and it was a hit. So when he asked me,I was game for the experiment,as it had already worked. But Kapoor is quick to add that his pants werent as tight as his

fathers. They were more contemporary in style and a bit loose. I wish Id worn tighter ones, he states.

A rom-com,Chaar Din Ki Chandni has Kapoor in the lead as a Rajput royal,Veer. He is in love with a commoner,a spunky Punjaban,Chandni (Randhawa),who knows and speaks her mind. I have no guts to tell my strict father about it,so I cook up stories and spin a yarn to prepare him for the news, says Kapoor,who signed the film for three reasons an entertaining script,a solid director and a starry cast. All this matters. Karnik has delivered successful films. The cast is amazing,it

includes Anupam Kher,Sushant Singh,Mukul Dev and Farida Jalal, says Kapoor.

The film is a dream come true for Kapoor. While last year was excellent with regard to commercial and critical success The Dirty Picture and Shor in the City the 35-year-old says he is the kind of actor who always wants more. I want a conventional solo hero hit,like Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, says he.

As he completes ten years in the industry,Kapoor rewinds and runs the reel every film has been a milestone,from playing the good cop in Khakee to a middle-class loser Vishnu Prasad in Gayab,a mafioso in Shootout in Lokhandwala,a comedian in Golmaal and a hopeless romantic in others. This year,the actor will be seen in Sanjay Guptas Shootout at Wadala,a prequel to Shootout at Lokhandwala. While Golmaal 4 will begin in 2013,Kapoor will flaunt a six-pack in Sachin Yardis Kya Super Cool Hain Hum. Work with sister Ekta Kapoor,however,is undecided. We operate independently. While I wish to get into production I handled Shor… most of the time acting remains my first love. says he.
