Anil Kapoor’s son, Harshvardhan Kapoor followed up his debut in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s ‘Mirzya’ (2016) with the now cult vigilante drama ‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’ (2018). While he earned critical acclaim for his role in Vikram Motwane’s much-loved project, ‘AK vs AK’ (2020), his film ‘Spotlight’ by Vasan Bala, a part of the anthology ‘Ray’ (2021), earned a Filmfare OTT Awards nomination for the Best Film. The actor has never shied away from taking an unconventional route.
While there is no mystery about Harshvardhan Kapoor’s unique and offbeat taste in films, Janhvi Kapoor spoke about the same during a recent interaction. The actress said, “Harsh bhaiya (Harshvardhan Kapoor) is the biggest movie buff. I think he is the most knowledgeable about cinema, world cinema, Hindi cinema.”
Janhvi Kapoor cheekily also asked uncle Anil Kapoor, “I think a lot of Chachu’s (Anil Kapoor) successful decision off late have been attributed to Harsh bhaiya, right?” To which Anil Kapoor happily agreed and said, “I have gained a lot from Harsh and his new-age vision and taste.”
Harshvardhan Kapoor has been the force behind many out-of-the-box storylines, displaying his understanding of cinema. The new-age actor has been a part of films like ‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’, ‘Ray’ and ‘AK vs AK’. Meanwhile, his last offering, ‘Spotlight’ from ‘Ray’, earned massive acclaim from inside and outside the industry.
