Tusshar Kapoor
Actor Tusshar Kapoor is gearing up for his upcoming movie âKapkapiii', a horror comedy drama co-starring Shreyas Talpade. At the trailer launch event of the film on Wednesday, the actor spoke about why he thinks it is good to release the film amid India-Pakistan tension. He was asked about it as many filmmakers and creators have announced delay in release of their projects owing to tension at border areas.
The actor spoke with IANS, when asked if it's the right time to release the film in theatres as the nation is facing an external threat from its neighbour. He told, "I think every film has its own destiny, every film has its own quality. Genres, especially the genre of horror comedy is outstanding right now It's a blockbuster genre So, the phase that's going on right now, I think people want to see more horror comedies but the film should be good the film should look exciting and this film has all that I think our audiences would like to see in the theatre on a Friday," 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.

In the follow-up to the Operation Sindoor launched by India, Turkey came out strongly in support of Pakistan, and also gave military aid to Pakistan in the form of Asisguard Songar drones, which were intercepted by the Indian air-defense system. The Turkish warship TCG BYKADA was also reported to have docked at the Karachi port amidst the tension. Indians have called for a complete boycott of tourism to these countries.
When he was probed about the Turkey and Azerbaijan dispute, he said, "I don't have all the information about who is supporting whom but all I will say is that we are abiding by the rules and the regulations of the authorities. According to that, the theatres are open and the films are running which means people are feeling safe and that confidence is coming from our very strong and resilient government".
"The month of May is the month of holidays for children and colleges and schools and youngsters. So, in a time wherein things are normalized and relaxed we should go and watch movies. I am not in a position to answer those questions because I don't have the adequate information", he added.
The trailer opens with a gang of quirky friends dabbling in the dark arts with an Ouija board, unknowingly unleashing a string of bizarre, spine-tingling events. But instead of doom and gloom, what follows is an uproarious chain of ghostly gags, possessed antics, and laugh-out-loud chaos. Ghosts groan, lights flicker, and screams mix with chuckles in this supernatural circus that wears its tagline - "Aatma Ji darshan do na" - like a badge of honor.
Since its release, the trailer has been met with an enthusiastic response from fans and viewers alike. Audiences are particularly loving the electric comic chemistry between Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade, whose on-screen camaraderie brings a nostalgic charm and perfect timing to the chaos. Their dynamic adds an extra layer of fun to the spooky spectacle, making Kapkapiii one of the most anticipated entertainers of the season.
Blending comedy with eerie horror, Kapkapiii delivers a wildly entertaining glimpse into a haunted house of horrors... with a funny bone. It's spooky, silly, and absolutely off-the-wall.
