Bollywood actor Tusshar Kapoor is all set to make his OTT debut in producer Prerna Arora's âDunk'. After securing Nidhhi Agerwal, the actor, who has been away from the screen for a while will be seen in a never-seen-before avatar. Tusshar, who has a bevy of blockbusters behind him, will be seen playing the role of an ambitious, strong-headed lawyer, who doesn't know how to be defeated. Tusshar has previously been appreciated for his comic timing, but with his role, he is going to push his limits and surprise the audience.
Talking about coming on board for 'Dunk', Tusshar said, "To be part of a story, which presents every character with such nuance, is an opportunity I would always be open to. Dunk's story and its characters are all so intriguing to me. I play the role of a lawyer, who doesn't give up and has relentless pursuits to achieve success. Prerna's choice of stories has proved to be great hits in the past and I completely trust her vision."
Prerna Arora, who has produced several blockbuster films in the past like âPad Man', âToilet: Ek Prem Katha', and âRustom' in the past, is excited to present Tusshar in this character.
"I can't wait to surprise the audience with Tusshar's character. No matter what I say right now, when the viewers will see him in the character, it is bound to surprise them. That is what I am looking for. He plays the role of a lawyer, an electrifying character, whose personality and larger-than-life presence on the screen is bound to engage the audience," Prerna said.
