Shreyas Talpade, who plays a man with stammering problem in 'Golmaal 3', says the intention of the movie or the character was never to hurt the feelings of people with speech disabilities.
“Have we really offended people?” he asks disbelievingly. “If we have, I am really sorry. But that was never the intention. Hum sabko ek hi maante hai. We would be the last people to make fun of somebody's weakness. All of us have some or the other kind of ailment. And that is what we have tried to portray in the film. Tusshar plays the mute guy but walks away with the heroine in 'Golmaal 2'."
Shreyas says that 'Golmaal' made his directors and producers take notice of the fact that he can do comedy roles as well. He confirms, 'Golmaal Returns' changed many perceptions. After my films like 'Dor' and 'Iqbaal', people thought that I could only do serious roles. There were a few directors who even told me that they like my acting but they were not sure whether I could pull off a comedy. 'Golmaal' gave people the confidence in me that I can be humorous as well.” He adds, “I just feel proud that I am a part of 'Golmaal' series. It’s a part of history as it is the first trilogy of India. It's scoring more points with every sequel.”
And Shreyas stresses that this success has been achieved with loads of hard work. He says, “There are many people working on ‘'Golmaal' and hence there is always a lot of activity on the sets. There are times when you don't want to get up to give your shot because you are very tired but you have to.”
Shreyas confirms that few of the most difficult scenes to enact in 'Golmaal 3' were the entry scenes of all the actors. He says, “For the entry sequence I had to stand atop a giant wheel. To go up there and maintain your balance and look like one cool dude is pretty difficult.”
Shreyas has already started working on his upcoming projects – 'Teen The Bhai' by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Sagar Bellery's 'Hum, Tum and Shabana' and 'Chemistry' by Sai Kabeer. Before that he is headed for a long holiday with wife, Deepti during the New Year break.
Shreyas says, “Work is important but my family definitely comes first. At some point you realise that you are working so hard to keep your family happy. This year has been pretty hectic for me so a long holiday is scheduled by the end of the year.”
