"There is no pressure from the audience. I feel they like a movie for what the movie is. They like an actor or an actress for the kind of work that they put in. Our hard work, talent, screen presence, all these things and they don't compare or judge enough. Before the first film there were expectations.
"But thereafter you're on your own and the work has to do the talking. It's also about how you conduct yourself, how you choose the right projects, where you take your career, your attitude towards your work," the actor told reporters here.
Also starring Shreyas Talpade, "Kapkapii" is a horror comedy, which is the last film by director
Sangeet Sivan

Kapoor, who did his first comedy film "Kyaa Kool Hai Hum" in 2005 with Sivan, credited the filmmaker for teaching him everything he knows about the genre.
"My first comedy film was with him 'Kya Kool Hai Hum' and before that I didn't do any comedy films. Whatever I have learnt about comedy first I learnt from him.
He gave me a role of a lifetime then and he's given me a role of a lifetime now," he said.
"Kapkapii" also features Sonia Rathee, Siddhi Idnani, Abishek Kumar, Jay Thakkar, Varun Pandey, Dherendra Tiwari, and Dinkar Sharma.
