After
playing
a
mute
guy
in
Golmaal
Returns
with
aplomb,
Tusshar
Kapoor
would
now
be
seen
as
typical
'Gujju
Bhai'
in
Rumi
Jaffrey's
Life
Partner.
We
spoke
to
Tusshar
who
is
all
excited
about
this
new
avatar.
"Yes...I
am
playing
a
typical
'Gujju'
character
called
Bhavesh
in
my
next
film
Life
Partner.
He
comes
from
a
very
traditional
Gujarati
joint
family.
My
character
is
based
in
South
Africa
and
the
story
revolves
around
how
this
guy
comes
to
India
to
get
hitched
via
an
arranged
marriage",
says
Tusshar
For
the
first
time
in
his
career,
Tusshar
would
be
seen
sporting
a
moustache
and
playing
a
married
guy.
"Yes
I
get
married
mid-way
through
the
film.
As
for
the
moustache,
Rumi
Jaffrey
had
a
certain
vision
for
the
character
and
this
is
how
he
wanted
it
to
be.
Manish
Malhotra
has
done
my
styling
in
the
film",
reveals
Tusshar
So
what
special
efforts
did
he
have
to
undertake
to
get
the
nuances
of
a
Gujarati
guy
right?
"See...more
than
the
Gujarati
aspect
it
was
getting
into
the
skin
of
the
character
that
was
the
real
challenge
for
me.
I
am
totally
opposite
to
the
character
I
portray
in
Life
Partner
as
I
am
someone
who
doesn't
believe
in
arranged
marriage.
Moreover
unlike
Bhavesh,
I
am
not
at
all
traditional
and
conservative
in
my
thought
process.
So
I
had
to
work
on
that
aspect
of
the
character
all
the
more",
says
Tusshar
with
a
smile.
