As he completes 20 years in showbiz, Tusshar is ready to give his career a new spin. Venturing into a zone that he hasn’t before, this year, we will see him in whodunit titled Maarrich, in which he plays a badass cop.

Talking about the film, the actor says, “It’s a grey whodunit, and it gets its title from a character in Hindu mythology, who had tricked Sita into believing something that wasn’t for real. It’s not the kind of film that anyone would easily associate with me. It’s unlike anything I have done before. The narration for this film was so gripping that I was drawn to producing and acting in it. I’m glad it is difficult for people to imagine me as a badass.”

Tusshar, who is backing a film for the second time, shares, “My character is someone who can arm-twist, act aggressive and has a dark side. He’s a successful senior officer in a certain age bracket. So, we gave him a mild French beard and some weight. I also had to undergo classes for voice modulation to make the character sound a certain way.”

The film also features Naseeruddin Shah and a bunch of newcomers in key roles.
