"I'm sure that Dad will make a film with me"
Tusshar Kapoor's debut Muhje Kucch Kehna Hai will hit the theatres soon, and moviegoers will pass their judgment on Jeetendra's son. The question is: will Tusshar, a business administration grad from the US, make the grade? Presenting the newest star aspirant.

Tell us about your debut film Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai.
Muhje Kucch Kehna Hai is a film about a boy who is unable to express his love for this girl. He has a strong reason, I can't tell you that for obvious reasons but the film has shaped up really well. I am thrilled. It has all the ingredients required for a love story. We have even touched the boy's family and his relationship with every member of his family. Almost everyone will identify with the film. The music has turned out very well and people are already appreciating it. Basically it's a family film, which revolves around a love story. Satish Kaushik is a great director to work with. He was so helpful that I felt lucky to have him as my first director. His sense of humour is great and he's not demanding at all. He's a happy go lucky kind of a person. The film is a remake of a Telegu super - hit Tholi Prema.

Kareena Kapoor, your heroine in the film already had a release; don't you think you should have been launched with a newcomer?
We wanted a girl who would look beautiful and confident, one who knew what she wanted in life. That's exactly what Kareena is. Maybe a new girl would not have been able justify with the character. Vashuji the producer has been wonderful. Kareena has been a friend since childhood. She was fun to work with. I felt comfortable with the whole team.

So you always wanted to be an actor!
Actually, as a kid I didn't want to be an actor so I went abroad to study after school. I did Bachelor of Business Administration at Michigan University. Later I realised that all my life I had wanted to be an actor. So I returned to India and became David Dhawan's assistant to get a feel of this place. I enjoyed the stint and learnt a lot, which helped me in my acting. Then Vashuji saw Tholi Prema and thought it would be a good launch pad for me. So he met me and things were finalised. I took the usual training in dance, diction, and acting etc.

But people are wondering why your father didn't launch you, as is the done thing for star sons.
Well! Dad wanted me to know the way this industry functions which I did, by being an assistant for David Dhawna in Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge and Kunwaara. I started as the sixth assistant and later Davidji started his film with dad starring Govinda and Sushmita. Vashuji approached me simultaneously. So things fell in place. It was not planned that dad would not launch me but I guess whatever happens, happens for the best. But I'm sure that Dad will make a film with me but after a while.

But hasn't your sister Ekta launched a film for you?
Yes she has. And I am doing the film with David Dhawan. The heroine is yet to be finalised. I have another film - Padmalaya's Koi Dil Ne Kaha with Esha Deol and the shooting will start shooting soon.

Do you get nervous thinking about comparisons with other star-sons - Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan?
No. Why would I? See we all have our plus points and minuses. They are really good and I don't think people will compare me with them. I am sure I will make my own place. We have our own slots and there are films we can do and films we can't. So I am sure we will be just fine.
