Tusshar Kapoor to make OTT film debut with Dunk: I like to challenge myself with non-comic roles, outside my comfort
Actor Tusshar Kapoor talks about doing different roles and challenging himself, and making his OTT debut with Dunk.
Tusshar Kapoor, known for his comedic prowess, is set to make his debut in the digital realm with the upcoming OTT release Dunk. The actor reveals, “The passion with which the producer Prerna Arora and the director Abhishek Jaiswal narrated the story, was palpable. It’s a passion project for the entire team, and the script immediately captivated me with its blend of drama, crime, and a compelling social message.”
Further elaborating on his character, the 47-year-old tells us, “It’s a grey shaded, real, and unique character for me. It’s outside my comfort zone, which is precisely why I was drawn to it. Playing a lawyer is a new challenge that excites me, and I’m eager to delve into this uncharted territory.”
He also mentions how he wishes to explore more diverse characters in the future, defying his comic image. “All the characters that I am doing now are different and don’t belong to that typical comical role. I am not consciously looking for roles that are non-comic, but when something like this comes up, I really challenge myself to do it,” says Kapoor, adding, ‘It really opens up newer avenues, like what happened with Khakhee, Shor In The City or the Shootout series, it took me out of my comfort zone and people noticed something that is very very different. I will always value the comic roles and cherish them because they have given me a lot of recognition, so that will not change, I look up to and forward to those roles. But every now and then I want to challenge myself and do something very different.”
