No pressure on star kids after first film, says Tusshar Kapoor
Kapoor, son of veteran star Jeetendra and producer Shobha Kapoor, was speaking at the trailer launch of his new film "Kapkapii".
"There is no pressure from the audience. I feel they like a movie for what the movie is. They like an actor or an actress for the kind of work that they put in. Our hard work, talent, screen presence, all these things and they don't compare or judge enough. Before the first film there were expectations.
"But thereafter you're on your own and the work has to do the talking. It's also about how you conduct yourself, how you choose the right projects, where you take your career, your attitude towards your work," the actor told reporters here.
Also starring Shreyas Talpade, "Kapkapii" is a horror comedy, which is the last film by director Sangeet Sivan, who died in 2024.
Kapoor, who did his first comedy film "Kyaa Kool Hai Hum" in 2005 with Sivan, credited the filmmaker for teaching him everything he knows about the genre.
"My first comedy film was with him 'Kya Kool Hai Hum' and before that I didn't do any comedy films. Whatever I have learnt about comedy first I learnt from him. He gave me a role of a lifetime then and he's given me a role of a lifetime now," he said.
"Kapkapii" also features Sonia Rathee, Siddhi Idnani, Abishek Kumar, Jay Thakkar, Varun Pandey, Dherendra Tiwari, and Dinkar Sharma.
Produced by Bravo Entertainment's Jayesh Patel and Umesh Kumar Bansal, and presented by Zee Studios, the film is scheduled to hit the screens on May 23.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Box Office Collection Day 1: Vikrant Massey-Shanaya Kapoor movie makes slow start
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Box Office Collection Day 1: Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor starrer love flick hit the silver screen on July 11, marking Maheep Kapoor-Sanjay Kapoor daughter's debut on the big screen. The film received cold response at the box office as it kicked off with a slow start. Bollywood's latest love flick featuring Janhvi and Khushi's cousin is adapted from Ruskin Bond's short story The Eyes Have It. The movie, headlined by Vikrant Massey, raked in ₹ 35 lakh net at the domestic box office, according to film industry tracker Sacnilk. Amid dry revenue flow for the movie, the footfall reveals the bigger picture. The movie 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' registered an overall 9.92 percent Hindi occupancy on Friday. The movie released alongside James Gunn's Superman and Rajkummar Rao's Maalik faces stiff competition from other contemporary releases, including Sitaare Zameen , Jurassic World Rebirth, F1 and more. IMDb gave 6-star rating to the movie and stated, 'Explores the romance between two visually impaired characters, navigating both the joys and complexities of modern love.' The romantic drama, backed by Zee Studios, Mini Films and Open Window Films, features 138 minutes run-time and is reportedly produced on a budget of ₹ 20 crore. The movie performed much below the expected estimates given by film trade analyst Sumit Kadel. In a post on X on July 10, Sumit Kadel had said, '#AankhonKiGustaakhiyan is expected to open in the range of ₹ 50-80 lakh nett, which would be a disastrous start." Predicting its business over the weekend, he stated, "Only exceptional word of mouth can help it doing some kind of respectable business over the weekend.' Streaming platform Zee5 acquired the post-theatrical digital streaming rights of the Vikrant Massey-Shanaya Kapoor starrer, according to an OTTPlay report. However, the OTT release date is yet to be finalised.

Shanaya Kapoor, Vikrant Massey On Shooting Intimate Scenes In Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan: 'It's The Trust…'
Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey talk about trust, comfort, and connection while filming intimate scenes in their upcoming film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Trust was the key behind creating natural chemistry in the upcoming romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, says debutante Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and reality show star Maheep Kapoor, who stars opposite Vikrant Massey in the Santosh Singh directorial. The fresh pairing has caught the internet's attention, especially after the trailer showed their emotional connection unfolding between a visually impaired musician and a blindfolded theatre artist. While audiences are curious to see how Shanaya performs in her first film, the buzz around her onscreen bond with Vikrant is already building. In a recent chat with Filmygyan, the lead actors opened up about how they worked through the challenges of shooting intimate scenes—particularly with the added layer of performing while visually restricted. Vikrant explained how their shared values helped create comfort and connection on set. He said, 'We've spoken about this. I think it's the trust factor that was built over a point of time. It strikes me that we are both very alike as people. Besides the acting workshop, or you know, chaahe fir woh blind school ki baat ho ya fir you know the challenges as actors we faced, uske alawa when we got to know each other as people, especially during the scene when we opened up as Vikrant and Shanaya and not just as actors, I think that also brought us closer." Shanaya echoed Vikrant's thoughts, agreeing that their off-screen bond was crucial. Vikrant continued, 'We are very much alike as people, and I think woh jo trust factor humara tab ek doosre pe aaya, mere mann mein at least inke liye woh trust factor tab aaya when I realised that she and I are pretty alike as people and our world view is pretty similar and we are very hungry actors and we want to go out there and give our best. And the only way that can happen is by trusting each other and there's no other way because you have blindfolds on, I can't see anything, so let's empower each other and bring the best from each other." Produced by Zee Studios, Mini Films and Open Window Films, the film directed by Santosh Singh, is scheduled for a release on July 11.
