It’s difficult for star kids to escape the ever-evolving debate around nepotism. While they enjoy certain privileges, they are also subjected to intense scrutiny, especially in today’s hyper-critical environment. Actor and son of veteran star Jeetendra, Tusshar Kapoor,  who made his acting debut in 2001 with Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, recently reflected on how things were different back then — but not entirely free of judgment. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Tusshar acknowledged that the nepotism conversation wasn’t as prevalent when he entered the industry. However, he admitted that there was a concerted effort by a section of the media to malign his image because of his film background. Recalling his early days, he said, “Especially if you were from a film background, then the glass is always half empty for a certain section of the media. You have to be very thick-skinned. Bahut neecha giraane ki koshish, bahut negativity thi (There were efforts to pull you down, a lot of negativity).” The Golmaal actor went on to claim that attempts were made to …

Nepotism may be the buzzword in Bollywood over the last few years, but there was a time not too long ago when actors from the film industry did not face that much scrutiny from the audience. However, even the old-timers say that the scrutiny from a section of the media existed even two decades back. In a no-holds-barred chat with HT, Tusshar Kapoor recalls his first year in films and how people tried to pull him down. Tusshar Kapoor began his Bollywood journey with Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai.

Kapkapiii Box Office Day 1: Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade starrer debuts with Rs 15 lakh

Kapkapiii Box Office Day 1: Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade starrer debuts with Rs 15 lakh

Published by Parlour News

This weekend’s release, Kapkapiii, starring Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade, kicked off its box office journey on a low note. Released in limited screens, the comedy drama couldn’t gain much traction despite attractive offers like Buy-One-Get-One for the opening weekend.  Kapkapiii opens at just Rs 15 lakh on its Day 1  Backed by Bravo Entertainment and distributed by Zee Studios, Kapkapiii collected Rs 25 lakh on its opening day. The movie received a decent word-of-mouth, which can be a good sign for the film as it can help it register some growth over the weekend.  The movie got released along with Bhool Chuk Maaf and Kesari Veer. While the Rajkummar Rao starrer comedy drama is the major attraction for the audience this weekend, Kesari Veer doesn’t have much to do. Some of the other holdover releases, including Raid 2, Kesari 2, Mission Impossible 8, and Final Destination: Bloodlines, are too big competitors for the horror-comedy.  Directed by Sangeeth Sivan, Kapkapiii needs to show better trends in order to put up a decent figure by the …

Bollywood movie Kapkapii, starring Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, and Siddhi Idnani, is gearing up for release this weekend. Helmed by Sangeeth Sivan, the movie is all set to take a dull opening as it couldn’t gain much traction in the advance booking.  Kapkapiii sells 1,000 tickets in top 3 national chains, relies heavily on word-of-mouth Bankrolled by Bravo Entertainment, Kapkapiii sold over 1000 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis- for the opening day. The opening day collection of Kapkapiii depends heavily on its word-of-mouth and spot booking. If walk-ins help, the movie will clock an opening of under Rs 1 crore.  The fate of Kapkapiii isn’t looking promising. However, it will be decided after seeing its opening day report. If the movie receives a favourable word-of-mouth, it will help it reach a decent figure by the end of its theatrical run.  For the unversed, the Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade starrer is an official remake of the Malayalam movie Romancham. The comedy drama will clash with Bhool Chuk Maaf and Kesari …

Actor Tusshar Kapoor, who is gearing up for his upcoming movie ‘Kapkapiii’, has refused to comment on the ongoing controversy about Turkey and Azerbaijan. The actor, who attended the trailer launch of ‘Kapkapiii’ on Wednesday in Mumbai, spoke with IANS, and said that he doesn’t have adequate information to furnish any comment on the ongoing issue around Turkey and Azerbaijan supporting Pakistan in the wake of recent skirmish between India and Pakistan.
