Director Milap Zaveri on Masti 4! Says the franchise will shed its adult comedy tag for a fun, family-friendly vibe
The Masti franchise is undergoing an evolution, moving away from its original label as a sex comedy. The success of Masti led to Grand Masti and then Great Grand Masti. However, director and writer
Milap Zaveri
, who is taking the reins of the next instalment, Masti 4, says that this one will be a naughty, fun comedy.
Not an adult comedy.
'When Masti released, it was more like a shock value'
Milap explained the shift by saying, 'We have so much content on OTT platforms already. Earlier when Masti released, it was more like a shock value. Over the years, people thrived on the shock value of the franchise. But I don't think anything shocks anyone anymore. So, the intent is not to shock, the intent is to entertain. That's why I am saying it's a naughty fun comedy film.'
This marks Milap's first time directing the franchise, which features Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Vivek Oberoi, Elnaaz Norouzi and Ruhii Singh.
Indra Kumar directed the first three parts. 'I wrote the first two parts, so it's a huge responsibility for me to write and direct this one,' he concluded.
'We don't want Masti 4 to be vulgar or cringe'
Milap, who began the UK schedule of Masti 4 recently, revealed, 'I would not like to call Masti 4 a sex comedy. I would like to call it a naughty, fun comedy. One of the compliments Induji (producer, Indra Kumar) gave me when he heard the script was that you've written Masti like Dhamaal. It's got the fun element and it's naughty. We are clear that we don't want it to be vulgar or cringe. We want it to be fun and mad. It's going to be men seeking fun post marriage, almost like the first part.

On stepping into this new role, Tusshar shares, 'Masti is a bonafide and successful brand in the comic genre, my role is an interesting new addition and I wanted to collaborate with Indra Kumar ji and Amar Jhunjhunwala for a long time for something worthwhile! Plus Milap Zaveri and I have worked earlier, but this time around it's much bigger and better, too!' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Adding further, he reveals, 'I readily accepted this film after hearing a brief narration of the story and my role in it! I can't reveal much about my character now but it's something you've never seen me do before! I had to watch a few regional as well as foreign language films to prepare for it!' When asked about the on-set chemistry with the original trio, Tusshar reflects, 'I've worked with all the 3 actors separately before and with Riteish and Aftab in a similar zone for Kyaa Kool Hai Hum! Therefore, there was no reason to be concerned about the chemistry between us and, most importantly, they welcomed me with open arms when I reached the outdoor venue where the film was being shot! We were all excited and in sync with each other from the very 1st day! I'm sure the camaraderie and fun off‑screen will reflect on‑screen, too!' Addressing the film's tone, which balances bold content with wider appeal, Tusshar says, 'Masti 4 is an adult but family comedy and has been written keeping the sensibilities of the wider audience in mind. My job as an actor is to do my job with sincerity and I've stuck to doing that with conviction! Regarding the boldness of it, my director is more concerned than me about the limits of the Masti universe and he'd be best able to explain further!'
