Anil
Kapoor's
son
Harsh
Varrdhan
Kapoor
made
his
debut
in
Bollywood
with
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra's
Mirziya
which
was
followed
by
Vikramaditya
Motwane's
2018
vigilante
action
thriller
Bhavesh
Joshi
Superhero.
Both
the
movies
fell
short
of
being
a
box
office
success.
More
recently,
Harsh
Varddhan
starred
in
Netflix
anthology
Ray
in
which
he
was
a
part
of
Vasan
Balan's
film
Spotlight
alongside
Radhika
Madan.
The
actor
was
praised
for
his
performance
in
this
flick.
Speaking
about
it,
the
actor
told
Hindustan
Times,
"I
always
knew
that
Spotlight
was
a
very
offbeat
film
compared
to
what
I've
done
so
far
in
my
short
stint.
It
was
the
most
absurdist,
progressive
of
the
lot.
I
loved
it,
but
was
unsure
how
people
would
respond.
I
expected
it
to
be
polarising,
but
didn't
expect
it
to
be
liked
so
much."
While
talking
with
the
tabloid,
Harsh
Varrdhan
also
revealed
the
text
message
that
Hrithik
sent
him
after
watching
Spotlight
wherein
the
War
actor
lauded
him
for
his
choice
of
work
and
said
that
it
will
pay
off
in
the
long
run
as
he
isn't
taking
up
stereotypical
work.
"I
was
up
early
morning
-
shooting
for
my
upcoming
film
-
in
my
vanity
van,
when
Hrithik
messaged,
'Hey
Harsh,
is
this
your
number?'
Then
he
said,
'I
watched
Spotlight
and
thought
the
film
was
terrific.
Keep
doing
what
you're
doing,
it's
the
right
way.
It's
not
stereotypical,
which
audiences
are
used
to,
which
is
why
it'll
pay
off
in
the
long
term'.
That's
something
I've
always
believed
in
as
well," Harsh
Varddhan
told
Hindustan
Times.
He
also
opened
up
on
the
industry
praising
his
performance
in
Spotlight
and
said,
"For
him
to
actually
take
out
time,
get
my
number
and
text
me,
that
was
something
incredible.
A
lot
of
other
people...
Nandita
Das,
Ram
Madhvani,
Sujoy
Ghosh,
Anurag
Kashyap,
all
reached
out.
It
has
been
amazing,
and
I'm
grateful
for
it."
Harsh
Varrdhan
further
told
the
tabloid
that
his
choices
of
projects
have
got
to
do
with
the
kind
of
person
he
is,
adding
that
he
listens
to
the
"voice
inside" him
very
carefully.
The
actor
will
next
be
seen
in
an
untitled
film
alongside
dad
Anil
Kapoor
and
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh.
He
is
also
a
part
of
the
Abhinav
Bindra
biopic.
