New Delhi, Aug 27 - He loves doing comedies and has in the past made audiences laugh in movies like 'Hera Pheri', but Suniel Shetty says he is unhappy with the quality of humour in films nowadays.

'There are very few good comedy films. They are mostly crap in the name of comedies. Even though so many are coming out each day, only a limited few are worth watching,' Suniel told IANS in an interview.

'I truly believe...I'm not being arrogant...but I believe that my film 'Daddy Cool' is a very nice comedy and will be appreciated,' he added.

Suniel was in the capital for the promotion of 'Daddy Cool', a co-production of Big Pictures and Maruti Pictures. Slated for release Aug 28, the fun flick that revolves around a funeral also stars Aftab Shivdasani, Javed Jaffrey, Aarti Chhabria, Prem Chopra and Chunky Pandey among others.

Throwing light on his role, the 48-year-old said: 'I play Steven in the film...he is the older son. He is someone who truly loved his father and hence with his death, his world comes to an end. Whatever happens in that funeral and how he handles the situation is basically what the film is about.'

'Daddy Cool' is loosely based on the 2007 British comedy 'Death At A Funeral' directed by Frank OZ and Suniel says he gave his nod because of that reason.

'The script really excited me and also the team behind it.
