Tusshar Kapoor will be seen next in Prakash Jha’s upcoming political thriller Janadesh. The film boasts of an ensemble cast, with Tusshar playing a pivotal role.
Sharing how the project came his way, Tusshar revealed, “Prakash ji called me and said that he has a character for me in this film. It came out of the blue, almost like a sign from the universe. I had been wanting to do a political thriller, especially with someone like Prakash Jha ji, who excels in this genre. I deeply admire his work, and I feel fortunate to be getting this opportunity to explore a new space as an actor.”
Speaking about his preparation process for the film, Tusshar said, “Prakash ji and I have been meeting for mini-workshops to delve into the character understanding how he sees me in the role and what he expects me to bring to it.”
He added, “It’s a fictional character, not based on a real-life personality, but it is inspired by real people and true incidents. The idea is to keep it authentic and believable, and that’s what I am working on.”
More details from the film are awaited.
