Harshvardhan Kapoor On Abhinav Bindra Biopic: When Portraying Someone's Life, There Is More At Stake
After the release of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju, biopics are all the rage now and Harshvardhan Kapoor has joined the bandwagon and is all set to star in gold-medalist Abhinav Bindra's biopic.
Harshvardhan
Kapoor,
who
will
be
playing
the
role
of
Olympic
gold-medalist
Abhinav
Bindra,
feels
the
responsibility
is
more
while
doing
a
biopic.
In
the
Bindra
biopic,
directed
by
Kanan
Iyer,
Harshvardhan
will
share
screen
space
with
his
father
Anil
Kapoor.
"With
biopic
you
have
to
make
sure
you're
doing
justice
to
the
person's
life
story...
there
is
responsibility.
When
you're
portraying
someone's
life,
there
is
so
much
more
at
stake
because
there
are
actual
people
and
real
feelings
involved," Harshvardhan
told
PTI.
The
actor
says
he
is
inspired
by
the
passion
and
commitment
of
Bindra.
Meanwhile,
he
is
happy
with
the
positive
response
to
his
last
released
film
Bhavesh
Joshi
on
Netflix.
With
newer
formats
of
entertainment
available
now,
the
actor
said
audiences
are
divided.
"I
think
every
film
has
its
audience.
In
an
age
of
fragmented
media
platforms,
it
is
only
natural
for
the
audience
to
be
fragmented
too.
As
long
as
the
film
is
being
enjoyed
and
loved,
I
don't
think
there
is
anything
to
worry
about.
With
the
digital
landscape
changing
so
dramatically,
these
shifts
are
bound
to
happen."
The
Vikramaditya
Motwane-directed
film
did
not
do
well
commercially
upon
its
theatrical
release.
He
said,
"I
gave
it
my
all
and
left
the
rest
up
to
the
audience.
As
long
as
the
film
has
longevity
that's
the
most
important
thing."
When
asked
if
he
thinks
Bhavesh
Joshi
should
have
released
on
digital
platform
first,
the
star
said,
"Maybe
it
should
have,
and
maybe
things
worked
out
the
way
they
did
so
we
could
learn
more
and
do
better
next
time.
Either
way,
this
has
been
a
tremendous
learning
for
me."
