Casting coup! Deepika to star opposite Harshvardhan in Sriram Raghavan's next? October 1, 2016 Ankita Bhalla47399 reads 35 comments SubmitLike 8 Sonam Kapoor's younger brother, Harshvardhan Kapoor is all set for his big Bollywood debut with Mirzya. Even before the release of his first film, the Kapoor lad is busy shooting for Vikramaditya Motwane's vigilante film Bhavesh Joshi. Now rumour has it that Badlapurdirector Sriram Raghavan is keen to cast the newbie in his next. But hey, that's not all! Raghavan is aiming to pull off a casting coup of sorts. As per a popular entertainment magazine, Deepika Padukone may be deep in conversation with the Agent Vinod director about a quickie' project that they might wrap up in three months flat. And, reportedly Raghavan has been in talks with the 25-year-old son of Anil Kapoor, Harsh, to star opposite DP! Those who've been privy to discussions between the filmmaker and the actress say this could be some sort of a female protagonist version of Badlapur. Some are also suggesting that Harshvardhan's role will be similar to what Nawazuddin Siddiqui played in the film (Badlapur). Lately, Deepika and Harsh have been the participants of mutual admiration club on the social media. The newbie has managed to grab the actress' attention. A few days back, Harsh was interviewed by senior journalist Rajeev Masand and the journo was so impressed with the Kapoor boy that he tweeted his interview and wrote, "VIDEO: Meet @HarshKapoor_. If this 25-year-old can act as well as he speaks, he's going to be around for a while!". DP retweeted the post and captioned as, "Couldn't agree more". An ecstatic Harshvardhan replied to Mastani and posted, "You're too good to me, it all means a lot, I can't wait to show you the film! #DareToLove. We wonder, what sister Sonam has to say about this development! Both Sonam and Deepika are not BFFs and they make no bones about it either... couldn't agree more! https://t.co/VigbD6MgTj " Deepika Padukone (@deepikapadukone) September 26, 2016 You're too good to me, it all means a lot, I can't wait to show you the film! #DareToLove https://t.co/4WrEwjfscv " Harshvardhan Kapoor (@HarshKapoor_) September 26, 2016
