Mumbai Apr 18 PTI Actor Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor on Monday said his revenge thriller Thar which features him alongside his father actor Anil Kapoor is a film that defies the conventional expectations from a father-son pairing in a movieThe Netflix film marks the second collaboration between Harsh Varrdhan and Anil after filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwanes AK vs AK in 2020Thar features Harsh Varrdhan as Siddharth an antique dealer while the 65-year-old actor plays a local cop in a remote village in RajasthanDuring the trailer launch of the film Harsh Varrdhan said when debutant director Raj Singh Chaudhary offered him the film they both could only visualise Anil for the partRaj and I had discussed the possibility of this happening with dad and it just fit For me the idea was that Raj gets the correct actors for all the roles not just dadsBut AK vs AK was quite different it had comedy dark humour was a meta film This is more cinematic and visual The idea is to break away from the conventions of what people expect a father and son to do together the 31-year-old actor told reportersHarsh Varrdhan said he was neither nervous nor at ease just because he was performing with his father as he approached the film purely as an actor without any baggageThe ice was broken with Vikrams film By the time we got to Thar so much time had been spent we had done a film together I was focused on doing my job and not get overwhelmed by the situation or who else is in the film So I didnt see it as acting opposite a family member I just approached the scene the same way I wouldve if it was anybody elseProduced by Anil Kapoor Film Company AKFC Thar is inspired by Western Noir genre and is set in the eightiesAccording to the streamer the film traces Siddharths journey through a remote village in Rajasthan that has recently been rocked by a series of violent killingsHarsh Varrdhan said he was pulled towards the film because of its writing and noted that its hard to find material that is a bit subversive different from what we are used to watchingFor me the template has been to try and do something new As long as I can do that its enough he addedThar marks Harsh Varrdhans third outing with Netflix after AK vs AK and the anthology Ray It is also his third feature film after his 2016 debut Mirzya and the 2018 action drama Bhavesh Joshi SuperheroThe actor said he is keen to do more films but not for the sake of being seen on screenI want to work a lot more All of us love to be on sets the more you act the better you get Its more about practise But the idea is to not compromise on ones creative integrity just to go to work Sometimes less is more I hope everyone likes this film he addedThar which also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh Satish Kaushik Jitendra Joshi and Mukti Mohan will release on May 6 PTI JUR BK BK
