If life doesn’t move in a straight line, why should cinema? This is what actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor says of cinema. Son of Anil Kapoor, Harsh made his acting debut with the Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra-directed romance drama Mirzya, and followed it up with Vikramaditya Motwane’s action thriller Bhavesh Joshi Superhero.
The actor, 30, who started his journey in the entertainment industry as an assistant director on Anurag Kashyap’s 2015 film Bombay Velvet, believes it is important to have variations in films. “I like digression. I believe, in a film, everything doesn’t need to go like a bullet, in a straight line. Everything doesn’t need to have a reason, sometimes things are just there. I come from that school of thought. There is unpredictability and randomness to life, and films should reflect that. They don’t need to be so structured,” the actor said.
