A quick scan at his upcoming projects indicates Anil Kapoor's proclivity for comedies. As Total Dhamaal inches towards release, the senior actor has begun work on yet another comic caper - Anees Bazmee's Pagalpanti. Known to be discerning about his choice of projects, Kapoor says he practises all the more caution when it comes to giving a nod to laugh riots.

He reasons, "The beauty of comedy lies in its writing. The gags and punches have to be sharp. There will be more pressure on actors if the writing isn't good. Fortunately, in most of my films, including Total Dhamaal, the writing is genuinely funny. It helped further that Induji [Indra Kumar, director] has impeccable comic timing."
