Tusshar Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with Satish Kaushik's Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai in 2001 oppositie Kareena Kapoor Khan. The actor is best known for films like Khakee, Kya Kool Hain Hum franchise, Shootout At Lokhandwala, Shor In The City, The Dirty Picture, Shootout At Wadala, and above all, the Golmaal series.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actor talked about his journey as an actor in the Hindi film industry, the early successes, the subsequent failures, and the popularity of the Golmaal franchise. He said, "It started with Khakhee (2004), Shootout at Lokhandwala (2007), then again did Shor In The City and The Dirty Picture both in 2011."

He added, "But because of Golmaal, it becomes like a brand for you. I don't have a problem with it, I am happy." When asked about the regrets in his career, he said, "I don't regret, but yes, of course, there are some films I did in the beginning of my career which I feel I could have avoided. But I did it, and I should be happy, because even the not so good experiences have taught me a lot."

He continued, "You learn that this is not something (you want to do), not the people you want to work with, and it's not a setup you would like to do again." The actor also gave his take on the coronavirus pandemic and how it has changed things for the Hindi film industry.

He stated, "Now, with COVID-19, we have the option to release films for audience there (on the OTT platform). I am grateful it's getting bigger, and there is so much growth within the industry. Different kind of movies are being made, and genres are being explored."
