Veteran actor Anil Kapoor is one proud father as his kids-
both Sonam Kapoor and Harshvardhan Kapoor are striving hard to leave their mark
in the industry.
The doting father is also very happy with the kind of films
Harshvardhan is choosing, however, maintains that he is also concerned for his
son. Why?
In an interview to a famous magazine, Anil told, “I feel
Harsh is still naive. For example, he’ll say no to very big filmmakers. I hope
they understand that he really wants to work with them and means well, but he’s
not ready to do those films. I wish he’d at least spoken to me before… But it’s
fine… That’s his decision.”
But, Anil also repeated the fact that this won't affect his
career because he has the option to explore and experiment, unlike him who had
financial situations to handle.
“I was very rigid too. My second film was with Mani Ratnam.
I was constantly meeting Shyam Benegal and Mrinal Sen. But there came a time
when nobody cast me. I was desperate. Harsh is fortunate in that for his first
two films he got to work with Rakeysh [Omprakash Mehra] and Vikramaditya
[Motwane]. I would’ve loved to do my first two films with them. But I was in
different economic strata and financial situation. So I had to make a few
decisions that I didn’t necessarily want to,” Anil further added.
When Harsh was questioned about the kind of work he aspires
to do, he told, “I don’t have to make ample amounts of money, and my films
don’t have to make Rs. 200 crore. I’m really not interested in that. If it
happens, that’s phenomenal. I’m just happy to have worked with two of the
biggest directors around, and I don’t think you can put a price on that. I’m
very clear about what I want. When people see my next filmBhavesh Joshi, I hope
they like it. But the intention is to make a vigilante action film set in
Bombay that you’ve never seen before.”
In a humorous conversation, Anil also exclaimed that Harsh
wants him to work so that he [Harsh] can be experimental with his work.
