After playing hip roles in the beginning of his career, Tushar Kapoor will now be seen playing a loser in Ram Gopal Varma produced Gayab .
In the movie Tushar plays a young man named Vishnu Prasad. He is a man of a mediocre personality who has ended up as a failure in life. He is very common, very inconspicuous and low on self-confidence. He doesn’t stand out in a crowd and there is nothing extraordinary about him.
Speaking about his role in the film, Tushar says that he did a lot of research to get the right look for his character.
“I watched a lot of films, went through the Internet, looked through magazines about nerdy characters. Then I made certain sketches. I kind of designed a certain look for the character. I tried out glasses. I tried out different hairstyles. And then we zeroed on in this particular look,” says Tushar.
Tushar says he took up the offer to play the role because he needed a change of image and wanted to try something challenging, exciting and experimental.
