I have turned co-producer just for the greed for money – Tusshar Kapoor

Tusshar Kapoor, who's still struggling to make a mark in Bollywood, is now following sister Ekta Kapoor’s footsteps – he has turned co-producer with “Chaar Din Ki Chandni” and says it’s fascinated about money.

Tusshar told to IANS: “I have turned co-producer only for the greed for money as I'M REALLY NOT being paid an excessive amount of for the film. It’s a solo and it’s an enormous discount for me as an actor. I agreed because I set to work with successful director and actor. It makes the 2 ends meet, so I needed to compensate.”

Directed by Samir Karnik, “Chaar Din Ki Chandni” stars Tusshar and Kulraj Randhawa within the lead roles and it's scheduled to release March 8. Unlike investing money through his sister Ekta’s banner Balaji Telefilms, Tusshar has pumped in money independently for the promotions.

“I have invested some amount on this so far as the promotions are concerned and in order to be repaid once the film releases. I CAN have a small share in that (box office profit). It’s not under any banner, it’s just an agreement between me and Top Angles Productions,” he added.

However, Tusshar plans to take some marketing tips from Ekta to advertise the film.

He said: “If I WOULD LIKE some ideas for promotions, I WILL consult her because she has some brilliant ideas. I CAN have a talk along with her and ask her what I should do to advertise ‘Chaar Din Ki Chandni’.”

Promotions strategy will include appearance on Ekta’s TV shows – “Pavitra Rishta” and “Bade Achche Lagte hain”.

“She has helped me because she got the ‘Pavitra Rishta’ tie-up done. Hopefully, I'D go in with ‘Bade Achche Lagte hain’, if the channel approves,” the 35-year-old said. – IANS
