Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade to star in horror-film Kapkapiii; release date out

Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor will soon be seen together in the horror-comedy Kapkapiii, directed by late filmmaker Sangeeth Sivan, known for Malayalam thrillers like Vyooham (1990) and Yodha (1992) and Hindi comedies like Kya Kool Hain Hum (2005), Apna Sapna Money Money (2006) and Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013). The film is slated to release on May 23.

Kapkapiii also stars Sonia Rathee, Siddhi Idnani, Jay Thakkar, Varun Pandey, Dherendra Tiwari, Dinkar Sharma, and Abishek Kumar. Its screenplay has been penned by Saurabh Anand and Kumar Priyadarshi.

Speaking about the film, Shreyas shared, “As the name suggests, Kapkapiii is about goosebumps — the kind you get just before the fear fully kicks in. It’s one of the best horror comedies by Sangeeth Sivan sir. I miss him dearly. He should’ve been here with us today to witness the release of the film he was so passionate about.”

Tusshar adds, “Kapkapiii has a very realistic setting, and the characters are extremely relatable. The horror element revolves around a Ouija board, something that hasn’t been explored much in Hindi cinema. Sangeeth ji gave his actors the freedom to improvise within the framework of the script, which added depth and authenticity to our performances.”

Tusshar and Shreyas have frequently collaborated on films like those of the Golmaal series, Aggar (2007) and Hum Tum Shabana(2011), among others.
