GlipzoTusshar Kapoor is celebrating a significant milestone in his career, as May 25 marks the 25th anniversary of his debut film, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai (2001). As he reflects on his journey in Bollywood, he is also looking forward to another landmark: the 20th anniversary of Golmaal, which will occur on July 14. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kapoor shared intriguing insights about the much-anticipated Golmaal 5 and the evolution of his beloved character, Lucky.
In the Golmaal franchise, Tusshar Kapoor's character, Lucky, is known for his unique communication style—he doesn’t speak but instead communicates through funny sounds. This distinctive trait has not only made Lucky a fan favorite but has become a hallmark of the series. When asked about the origins of this character, Tusshar revealed that Lucky was originally conceived as a silent role by writer Neeraj Vora.
> “The character was envisioned as silent, but thanks to Sharman Joshi, I was encouraged to work with theatre actor Vikas Kadam. He suggested that instead of sign language, Lucky should vocalize sounds, giving him a brattish and bold edge,” Tusshar explained.
This creative pivot transformed Lucky into an iconic character, which has garnered significant affection from fans. Tusshar humorously noted, “Wherever I go, fans only want me to perform as Lucky!” His portrayal has become synonymous with the franchise’s comedic essence, making him a staple in the Golmaal series.
As for the upcoming Golmaal 5, Tusshar Kapoor was excited to announce that 80-90% of the filming has been completed. He described the experience of reuniting with his co-stars and director Rohit Shetty as a “joyride.” Tusshar praised Shetty for his work ethic, stating, “He’s the hardest-working director I’ve ever encountered. Rohit’s commitment to his work is unparalleled, and he inspires the entire team.”
With the cast and crew working tirelessly, Tusshar emphasized the dedication everyone has shown, often finding motivation in Shetty’s relentless drive. “Even when we feel exhausted, we realize that Rohit was present before us and will remain after we leave,” he noted, expressing optimism about the film living up to audience expectations.
The latest installment of the Golmaal series sees the return of familiar faces, including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, and Shreyas Talpade, along with the addition of Akshay Kumar. The buzz surrounding Akshay’s bald look has sparked curiosity among fans. While Tusshar remained tight-lipped about the specifics of their collaboration, he did hint at the significance of their work together.
> “I have a few scenes with Akshay sir. This is my fifth collaboration with him, including Laxmii (2020), which I produced. The work we did together in Golmaal 5 will surely be the icing on the cake for my career!”
The Golmaal franchise has been a cornerstone of Indian comedy cinema, blending humor with relatable themes. As fans anticipate the release of Golmaal 5, the addition of Akshay Kumar and the evolution of Lucky's character promise to bring fresh energy to the series. This film not only marks an important milestone for Tusshar Kapoor but also represents a significant moment in the legacy of Indian comedy.
As the shooting for Golmaal 5 nears completion, fans can expect a cinematic experience that honors the beloved characters while delivering fresh laughs. With the film set to release soon, moviegoers are eager to see how the cast’s chemistry and Rohit Shetty’s direction will shape this new chapter.
