Harshvardhan Kapoor made his Bollywood debut last year with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya. The film is the love story between Mirzya and Sahiban. Today, Harsh shared a throwback picture when he was shooting for Mirzya and had long hair.

Kapoor captioned the picture as, "#ThrowBackThursday... a little too far back to my warrior days #Mirzya #LongHairDidntCare." The film didn't really work that well at the box office. In an interview, he said, "To be honest, I wasn't expecting Mirzya to set the box office on fire. Obviously, it would have been nicer had it opened with slightly better numbers. It wasn't a commercial film and it's safe to say that now. Actually, you don't know what is mainstream and what is not until it's really put out there. I'm also in a way discovering the sensibilities of the audience as I go along."

Harsh further added, "I'm not saying Mirzya was a perfect film. In fact, I'm the first one to admit that it was a flawed film. But most films are flawed. It was visually enchanting and musically stunning, though. And as newcomers, we didn't do anything glamorous or starry in it. I had dirt all over and sported a full grown beard. Rajasthani stable boys and warriors are like that. So, the learning is that you go from story to story. I understand people universally couldn't connect much with the film. Some people liked it and they did let me know. My next with Vikramaditya Motwane is a lot more accessible in that sense."

Harsh will next be seen in Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi. Director Vikramaditya Motwane is also all praises for Harsh's work in the film. Motwane, in an interview, said, "I am very happy with Harshvardhan's work. I am glad I made this movie with him. It's a vigilante film and he has done complete justice to the script."

"It's (film) shaping up really well and I am happy with the way it has turned out so far. It's been one of my most exciting films I have worked on," added Motwane.

Are you excited for the film?
