Harshvardhan to play blind musician in next

Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan hasn't even made his debut yet but he's already flooded with the choicest lead roles in Bollywood.

After completing Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mirzya, Harshvardhan has plunged into his second film, Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi. 

Now, the actor has been finalised for Sriram Raghavan's next film, an edgy dark thriller about a musician, who fakes his own blindness.

Says a reliable source, "It is surprising that after their collaborative success in Badlapur, Sriram and Varun Dhawan are not getting together again. It is Harshvardhan Kapoor whom Sriram wants for his next, a film about a blind musician, who is not really blind."

The film will also star Tabu.

While Harshvardhan is keen to plunge into his third challenge, he isn't free to shoot it yet.

"Sriram wants to start at the end of the year but Harshvardhan won't start another film until he completes Bhavesh Joshi," the source adds.
