“@HarshKapoor_ Why have you stepped back from acting. Youโre genuinely a talented actor, even if the films didnโt become big blockbusters; your performances were widely praised. Why stop now? Keep hustling… Weโd love to see you back on screen soon,” read the post.

Replying to the post, Kapoor said he is actively working on the project. “I havenโt 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 it has taken me 2-3 years now to finish this film. I finished filming on June 30 th. Iโm also producing it,” he wrote.

Kapoor noted that the audience has become used to actors featuring in several films in the same year. “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’, itโs not gonna happen once or twice a year, thatโs just the reality … But thank you, and the new film is the best one yet, 100 percent its extremely unique,” he added.

Harshvardhan, son of Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, made his acting debut in 2016 with the romantic drama film “Mirzya”. He later went on to feature in projects such as “Bhavesh Joshi Superhero” and “AK vs AK”, among others.
