Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor says ace directors lauded him for Spotlight, Hrithik Roshan messaged him 'keep doing what you’re doing'

Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor might not be coming on the screen as frequently as most of his contemporaries, but his choice of movies is surely making us laud him. The actor, who debuted with Mirzya, has been part of films like Bhavesh Joshi Superhero and Spotlight, and all these films had him play very different characters. Now, in a recent interview, the actor has opened up about receiving praise for his performance in Spotlight.

In a recent interview with HT, Harsh Varrdhan revealed that he got a message from Hrithik Roshan himself congratulating him for his performance in Spotlight. He said, “I was up early morning — shooting for my upcoming film — in my vanity van, when Hrithik messaged, ‘Hey Harsh, is this your number?’ Then he said, ‘I watched Spotlight and thought the film was terrific. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s the right way. It’s not stereotypical, which audiences are used to, which is why it’ll pay off in the long term’. That’s something I’ve always believed in as well.”

He added, “For him to actually take out time, get my number and text me, that was something incredible. A lot of other people... Nandita Das, Ram Madhvani, Sujoy Ghosh, Anurag Kashyap, all reached out. It has been amazing, and I’m grateful for it.”

Harsh Varrdhan did give a fantastic performance in the Vasan Bala directed film, that appeared in the anthology Ray. He would next be seen in Abhinav Bindra's biopic.
