"And we're playing siblings. That's right. Kareena plays my sister in Phir Gol Maal! Isn't that cool?"
Well,not quite cool because audiences will now expect Kareena to be Tusshar's onscreen Ekta.
Tusshar laughs off the insinuations. "Nothing of the sort. Have you forgotten that Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya played siblings in Josh? They were soon after accepted as an intense couple in Mohabbatein.
And what about Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala? They played father-daughter and husband-wife in two films that were released during the same year (Khamoshi and Agni Sakshi).
Earlier Sanjeevji and Jayaji were a married couple in Gulzar Saab's Koshish and father-daughter in Parichay during year.
Considering thse films came decades ago, surely today's generation would have no problem knowing Bebo and I are only acting as brother and sister. I'd love to do an intense love story with her immediately after this."
Tusshar incidentally feels very comforted by 'sister' Kareena's presence in Phir Gol Maal.
"Earlier when we did Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai together she was moody and into her own shell most of the time. Today she has mellowed down so much. And she's looking stunning these days," Tusshar ends appreciatively.
