Thar will drop online on May 6
There’s a charm to Western noir movies, you’d agree. Anil Kapoor and Harshvarrdhan Kapoor are ready to give the genre a go with Thar. While the two have shared screen space before in AK vs AK (2020), it was Harshvarrdhan’s idea to cast his actor-father in Raj Singh Chaudhary’s directorial venture.
Anil remembers being blown away by the Netflix film that revolves around Harshvarrdhan’s Siddharth who goes to a remote village in Rajasthan that has been rocked by violent killings. “It was Harsh who brought the film to me. His faith in the story, and the fact that it was a new genre for me and hence, a new learning opportunity — these were reasons enough for me to do the film. The story strikes the perfect balance between gritty and slick, fast-paced yet nuanced,” says Anil. That it teams him up with his son is sheer joy for the senior actor. He adds, “Harsh has a unique approach to his craft. Working with him was a learning experience for me. I can’t wait to do it again with the Abhinav Bindra biopic.”
