Harshvarrdhan Kapoor stands out of the crowd with his unconventional choices with Thar

Harshvarrdhan Kapoor’s debut as a producer has once again presented us with an unconventional side to him as an actor leaving fans, critics and the industry alike impressed with his performance as Siddharth in Thar, Harshvarrdhan Kapoor embodies the character as intended.

Another unconventional choice by Harshvarrdhan, Siddharth has a dark side with a backstory that makes the character deeply engaging and begs audiences to empathise with this grey character. From Mirzya’s Aadil, to Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’s Sikandar Khanna and Spotlight’s Vikram Arora, Harshvarrdhan’s performances are dark, beautiful and nuanced.

Similarly, Harshavarrdhan as Siddharth in Thar is successful in capturing the essence of an intriguing and unpredictable outsider. While the trend is surely shifting away from the mainstream as Indian cinema spreads its roots and the audience has begun being more comfortable with grey and intense characters, Harshvarrdhan has always had a pulse on these kinds of characters since the inception of his career. By doing so, he has not only redefined the quintessential hero, but also proved that if anyone amongst the new-age crop of actors is brave enough to truly explore the depths of human emotions as a performer, it’s Harshvarrdhan!
