No pressure on star kids after first film, says Tusshar Kapoor
Mumbai, Actor Tusshar Kapoor on Wednesday said it's natural for audiences to have high expectations from star children but they are on their own once their first film is released.
Kapoor, son of veteran star Jeetendra and producer Shobha Kapoor, was speaking at the trailer launch of his new film "Kapkapii".
"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, who died in 2024.
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.
Produced by Bravo Entertainment's Jayesh Patel and Umesh Kumar Bansal, and presented by Zee Studios, the film is scheduled to hit the screens on May 23.

Bollywood's iconic actor Jeetendra and his family have been making headlines after selling a massive land parcel in Mumbai's Andheri. According to media reports, the Kapoor family sold the land for Rs 855 crore. With such a whopping deal, fans are now extremely curious to know about Jeetendra's overall wealth. According to a report by Square Yard, the sale was officially registered on May 29, 2025. The deal was done through the Kapoor family's two companies—Pantheon Buildcon and Tusshar Infra Developers. The land parcel, currently home to Balaji IT Park with three constructed buildings, is valued at Rs 729.26 crore, according to official documents. Coming to Jeetendra's journey from the silver screen to business, the actor remains one of the most popular stars in the industry. After the recent property deal, Jeetendra's net worth has significantly increased. As per media reports, his net worth is said to be Rs 10.84 crore. The same reports claim that the actor earns Rs 26 lakh each month, with a yearly income of around Rs 3 crore. Apart from that, Kapoor is the chairman of both Balaji Telefilms and Balaji Motion Pictures. Together, the production houses reportedly bring in Rs 422 crore. Jeetendra resides in the opulent Krishna Bungalow located in Juhu, reportedly valued at Rs 200 crore. He shares this lavish home with his wife, Shobha Kapoor, and daughter, Ektaa Kapoor. On the other hand, Ektaa Kapoor, Jeetendra's daughter, has made a name for herself in the Indian television industry. As per a report by Financial Express, Ektaa has a net worth of about Rs 95 crore (USD 11.3 million). She earns approximately Rs 2.8 crore per month, totaling around Rs 30 crore annually. Her wealth has grown by 25 percent in recent years. Coming to Jeetendra's son, Tusshar Kapoor, he tried his luck in the film industry. However, the actor couldn't impress the audience consistently and eventually stepped back. Though his performances in The Dirty Picture, Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum, and the Golmaal series were praised, he never reached the heights of success like his father. As per a report by ABP, Tusshar earns Rs 40 lakh per month from brand shoots. Furthermore, his annual income is around Rs 5 crore. Tusshar owns property worth nearly Rs 44 crore.
