New Delhi, Aug 20 (IANS) Tusshar Kapoor has pulled off a unique fusion look! For a song in comedy film "Hum Tum Shabana", he has donned Hollywood star Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean" avatar, and his dance moves match that of his father, veteran actor Jeetendra.

The song sees Tusshar trying to woo actress Minissha Lamba, and the fusion was suggested by the production team.

"The whole idea was conceptualised by the producers and choreography team. I had to woo Minissha in the song, change avatars and dance. It was choreographer Adil's idea to have me in Johnny's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' outfit. Project co-ordinator Rafiq Kazi, a fan of dad, suggested a Jeetendra take-off. It was a Herculean task. There are 100 different things to do, from the braids and the sling, to the pyjamas and the waistcoat," said Tusshar.

The song was shot on a beachside, and if a source from the unit is to be believed, the crowds on the beach went crazy after seeing Tusshar's get up. The actor, however, had a tough time.

"We had a lot of fun, but thank god it was the last shot of the day. I wouldn't have wanted to go through the ordeal of getting into that get up again. Hats off to Mr.Depp," the actor said.

"Hum Tum Shabana", produced by Horseshoe Pictures and Alliance Entertainment, also features Shreyas Talpade. Directed by Sagar Ballary, it will release Sep 23.
