Given his stature as Anil Kapoor's son, Harshvardhan Kapoor's Bollywood debut last year, 'Mirzya', piqued curiosity ahead of its release. The Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra project failed to resonate with the masses, but the young actor's outing as an aching lover didn't go unnoticed.
After a year, the 26-year-old is gearing up for his next project, Vikramaditya Motwane's vigilante drama, 'Bhavesh Joshi'. Speaking to mid-day a day after wrapping up a gruelling 80-day schedule, Kapoor says, "It was a tough action-packed chart. We filmed in the rain, day and night. We have made the movie with passion, fighting everything that went against us. It was challenging, given that we shot a 90-100-day film in less than 80 days, and in difficult conditions."
With this project behind him, he says he has experienced working on two unique films, both of which have polished his acting skills. Recalling an incident from the schedule, he narrates, "We were shooting in Karjat and I was in prosthetics, covered in mud and sweat. We had to wait for several hours to do that shoot, but it was worth it."
Before the role landed in his lap, it was offered to Imran Khan and then Sidharth Malhotra, but Harsh believes it was destined to be his. "We wanted to make this film for long. It was meant to be made with me." Kapoor isn't entirely distanced from the failure of his previous outing. "I am aware that I don't make standard choices, so I cannot expect consistent results. I'm okay with that. After all, isn't that the nature of this business?"
