After his mute act in Gomaal, Tusshar Kapoor’s role in Kya Kool Hai Hum 3 will see him as a character with a slight squint. He went to workshops to get his eye movement right as he didn’t want it to look gimmicky. Ask him if he was apprehensive about taking up a role with a phycial disability again and he quips, “I have never felt that way because I have been lucky enough to do roles across genres. In this film, my character is slightlty cock-eyed. Not throughout the film but just in certain situations. I play a guy who is looking for true love and how he makes a mess of certain situations. Milap (Zaveri) has written the part and it’s great.” Along with workshops, he also practised on the set before shooting with his co-stars.

He further adds that though he plays a character with a disability, he will play it with sensitivily, “It won’t be derogatory or offensive to anyone. I don’t want to ridicule anyone so it won’t be in bad taste,” he explains. His co-star from the previous installments, Riteish Deshmukh opted out this time and was replaced by Aftab Shivdasani as he wasn’t comfortable with the subject. Tusshar, however, says he will do whatever roles the audience accepts him in. “I have no qualms being a part of an adult comedy. It is a genre that everyone watches but very few accept that they enjoy. There is double standard at play, but I am accepted and liked by my audience in this genre. So why not? I am sure 30 years later, there will be remakes of adult comedies being made and then people will credit us for having started this trend,” he says.
