According to Bollywood Hungama, Tusshar Kapoor spoke about ‘Golmaal 5’ in an exclusive interview and said the team has finished most of the shoot. “80-90% of the shoot is over. It’s been a joyride reuniting with my co-stars and director. Rohit Shetty is the hardest-working director I’ve ever worked with. There’s no one who’s as serious and professional about his work as him. He inspires me and all of us.”The actor also praised Shetty’s working style, saying the director stays deeply involved on set. He added, “We are working day and night and when we get tired, we realize that this man was here before we came on the set and he’s going to be here even when we leave. We get breaks, but he doesn’t. Moreover, he’s so fast and organized. Fingers crossed and we hope that it lives up to everybody’s expectations.”
Tusshar Kapoor on Akshay Kumar and Lucky
‘Golmaal 5’ brings together Tusshar Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, and Shreyas Talpade. Akshay Kumar has also joined the cast, and his bald look from the film has already drawn attention. Speaking about him, Tusshar said, “I am not going to reveal much. I have a few scenes with him in the film. This is my fifth film with Akshay sir, including ‘Laxmii’ (2020), which I produced. The work I have done with Akshay Sir in ‘Golmaal 5’ will be the icing on the cake for my career as well!”Tusshar also revealed that Lucky was first planned as a silent character by writer Neeraj Vora. He said Sharman Joshi later suggested that he train with theater actor Vikas Kadam. Kadam then advised that Lucky should not only use sign language because he could hear.“He said, ‘Since he can hear, let’s give him sounds that he is trying to vocalize, even though he is unable to articulate words. He can’t speak, but he can still make sounds’. So, he suggested adding a brattish quality to the character and making him a bit of a bada**!”Tusshar said the idea worked, and fans still ask him to act like Lucky. “Everywhere I go, they only want me to do it!”
