The 52-year-old plays an investigative cop in the film, that also stars actors Ajay Devgn and Kangna Ranaut. “It’s quite surprising that after almost 35 years in the industry, I have never played the role of a detective in a Bollywood film,” he muses.

But, Kapoor says he found a good friend in Ajay Devgn, with whom he shares screen space for the first time. “It is just the beginning of our journey together. I wonder what took people so long to cast us together,” he says.

Kapoor confirms the buzz that he asked director Priyadarshan to increase Ajay’s role in Tezz. “Yes, I did. There were certain portions where I felt if Ajay was there it would work better for the film,” says Kapoor, who will join Devgn in a car race on the F1 track in the city tomorrow. Tezz will release on April 27.
