The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This phrase is often said about children that display talents or qualities similar to their parents. In the case of Anil Kapoor and Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, it's their love for acting. Both father and son have a very different approaches to their craft and careers. Their cinematic language is also diametrically opposite.
On the one hand, Anil Kapoor has a range unlike many others with films such as Meri Jung, Ram Lakhan, Beta, AK vs AK, and Slumdog Millionaire. On the other hand, Harsh has chosen films left of center, and not too commercial, in his short, six-year career span. His last release, Thar, is one such example. The actor has also donned the producer's hat for this film a role many of his family members, namely Boney Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, and Anil Kapoor, have taken on.
About adding his name to the long list of producers in the family, he discloses, I've never really seen them work up close and personal. My role was more creative as opposed to financial.
The actor also harbours a dream of turning director one day. Movies are a director's medium. Maybe one day, if I find a story that I feel I can tell uniquely, I would like to have the experience of directing a film.
In 2016, Kapoor Junior made his debut as an actor with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya, and followed it up with much delayed Bhavesh Joshi Superhero in 2018. Both films didn't manage to make the cash registers ring. Post that, he's done only three more projects, whereas if you look at his peers, each one has worked on way too many films, including flops and hits.
