Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor shares why he has not been seen much on screen
Mumbai, June 9
Actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor has clarified that he has not taken a break from acting and is actively working on a new film.
Responding to a fan's query on X, he shared that he has been deeply involved in the project for the past few years, which he is also producing. Harsh also explained that his films often take longer due to their unique and unconventional nature. He added that his upcoming project is shaping up to be his most special work yet. Tagging the actor, the fan shared a poster of Harsh's film 'Bhavesh Joshi' and tweeted, "@HarshKapoor_ I've been wondering why you've stepped back from acting. You're genuinely a talented actor even if the films didn't become big blockbusters, your performances were widely praised. Why stop now? Keep hustling, bhai. And if you ever need a role model, you don't have."
In his reply, Anil Kapoor's son said, "I haven't stepped back at all been working on a new one since the day thar released it took 5 years to get thar made .. it took many years for vikram to make bhavesh and its taken me 2-3 years now to finish this film ok working on which I finish filming on June 30 th.. I'm also producing it .. I guess people are used to actors doing multiple films a year .. if you want films like bhavesh and thar and Ak vs Ak/ Ray it's not gonna happen once or twice a year that's just the reality .. but thank you and the new film is the best one yet 100 percent its extremely unique."
For the unversed, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor began his acting career with the romantic drama "Mirzya," which released in 2016. He then appeared in action-oriented films, including "Bhavesh Joshi Superhero" and "Thar." He also appeared in one of the episodes of the Netflix anthology series "Ray."

It's refreshing to see an actor who prioritizes quality over quantity. In today's fast-paced world, everyone wants instant hits. But films like Thar and Bhavesh Joshi need time and patience. I'm curious about this new project.
I get his point, but at the same time, actors need to be visible to stay relevant. Even if the films are unconventional, maybe he could do a small role in a bigger film or a web series to stay in people's minds. Just a thought.
As someone who watches a lot of indie films, I appreciate his approach. The industry is too focused on commercial blockbusters. Harsh is doing his own thing, and that's commendable. Can't wait to see what he has been cooking for 3 years 🔥
He's got talent, no doubt. But I feel he's too niche. Maybe he could try a different genre to reach a wider audience. Still, props to him for producing his own films and taking control of his career. That takes guts.
I loved him in Bhavesh Joshi! The whole concept of a superhero without powers was so interesting. It's sad that people judge films by box office numbers. I'm glad he's not giving up and making the kind of cinema he believes in.
