The shape of the work

Partnership facts
- Riteish and Tusshar first teamed up because director Ekta Kapoor wanted two actors who could do deadpan comedy without being afraid to look stupid. She cast them in Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005) specifically because neither had an ego about playing losers.
- In Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum (2012), Riteish was the one who pushed for more improvisation on set. Tusshar later admitted that Riteish's constant ad-libbing forced him to stay on his toes — he couldn't just rely on his deadpan delivery because Riteish would change the line mid-scene.
- Their first film together, Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005), directly launched the 'sex comedy' trend in Bollywood. Before this, adult humour was rare in mainstream Hindi films. After its success, a wave of similar films followed — including the Grand Masti series.
- Despite making three films together, Riteish and Tusshar never hung out socially outside work. Tusshar once said they were 'professional friends' — they'd meet on set, crack up during scenes, then go home to separate lives. No dinners, no phone calls.
- Tusshar on Riteish: 'He is the only co-star who can make me laugh even when I'm not in the mood. He doesn't try — it just happens.' — Tusshar Kapoor, interview with Filmfare, 2012.
