Shreyas Talpade Discusses His Comedy Comeback in Housefull 5

The Challenge of Comedy

Are you excited to return to comedy in Housefull 5? Do you think comedy is the most challenging genre?

Indeed, comedy is a serious endeavor. My journey in this genre began with theatre, where I initially struggled to master comedic timing.

Is that so? It’s hard to imagine!

Yes, it’s true. I gained insights by observing talented actors in the Marathi theatre scene, particularly those who excel in comedy. Their impeccable timing and humor have been a great source of learning for me, although it took considerable time to grasp.

Do you believe you had to exert more effort to perfect your comedic skills compared to other acting styles?

Absolutely, it requires significant dedication. The key is to embody the innocence and sincerity essential for comedy. If you start laughing during a performance, it can ruin the moment. Maintaining a serious demeanor while delivering lines with the right timing is crucial for success. It’s challenging, yet incredibly enjoyable.

Is it a gift to make others laugh?

Indeed, bringing laughter to people is a true gift. If you can consistently achieve that, you are fortunate.
