September 24, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Television queen turned film producer Ekta Kapoor is going to face competition from her younger brother Tusshar Kapoor as the actor is turning producer by launching his own production company 'Tushar Kapoor Motion Pictures' by early next year.
Confirming the news, the actor was quoted saying that he is producing director Sagar Bellary's movie Double Jhol, which will have him playing double roles. The actor turned producer said that he has already read the script of this movie.
Everyone might be wondering why Tusshar is opening a new company when his sister Ekta is already running two production companies named Balaji Telefilms and Alt Entertainment. On this, Tusshar has clarified that he wants to take creative control of the films he wants to make and launching a new company was the best way to do it. The 33 year old actor added that he has already purchased a bungalow adjacent to his parents' residence 'Krishna' in Juhu. However, Tusshar has not shifted there yet, as per the source.
Tusshar has reportedly claimed to be familiar with film collections, marketing strategies, distribution channels and production work. The actor said that Balaji Telefilms and Alt Entertainment often take advice from him regarding the films they produce. However, the directors of the company take the final creative call so in this way he has gathered some experience.
He is done with the shooting of director Rohit Shetty's Golmaal 3 and Neeraj Vora's Run Bhola Run and is working on his first Rajshri production movie Love You Mr Kalakar. Tusshar is also busy making the promotion strategies for Balaji's Shor, which will release by the end of this year.
In the meantime, he is in search of medium budget scripts, directors and other staff for his new company that will start functioning either from the Balaji Office in Andheri or from his bungalow in Juhu.
Tusshar made it clear that there will be no confusion with Balaji because as a producer he would spend his own money and will later work with Balaji for emotional reasons.
The actor could make a very good mark in Bollywood with his single hero films. Hope he becomes successful as a producer! All the best Tusshar!
