the unconventional path. He debuted in the
industry with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's
Mirzya and his second film in which he
essays the role of a vigilante, Bhavesh Joshi
Supehero released recently.
Coming from a family of stars, Harshvardhan
Kapoor was asked in a recent interview with
Quartz, if he seeks his family member's
advice. He said, "Sonam is in her own world,
and she's done all kinds of films. But I also
think it's easier sometimes for a heroine to
fit in a lot of films...for example, a Padman is
not driven by her, right? So she doesn't have
to be there for a 100 days. Heroines can be
more free. For me now, the whole film will
hinge on my shoulders...So, I don't really
take advice from her.
Rhea's a producer. She has more marketing
feedback as opposed to creative feedback
with script and stuff. Our films (Bhavesh
Joshi and Veere di Wedding) are releasing
on the same day, so she's too busy and she
couldn't help us.
He also said that father Anil Kapoor does not
agree with his choices. "When he read the
script of Mirzya, he was very scared because
he said it's too abstract. But I was too
passionate about it. Bhavesh Joshi I told him
I want to do before Mirzya released. He said
don't do it, wait for Mirzya to release. Thank
god I didn't listen to him. It's like a constant
battle in a way, Harsh said.
He also said that things have changed since
his father's debut in films. He said, "He
wanted to kind of build an empire for the
family. It was about survival and stuff. I think
my father's time was very different. I think
audiences are not as forgiving today.
