Harshvardhan Kapoor’s Abhinav Bindra biopic to roll in January

Last seen in Vikramaditya Motwane’s Bhavesh Joshi (2018), actor Harshvardhan Kapoor will next be seen in an untitled biopic on Olympic Gold medallist Abhinav Bindra. The actor will be seen playing Bindra in his biopic.

The project has faced a lot of delay in the past, but now the makers have decided to begin production in January next year. The news has been confirmed by none other than Harshvardhan Kapoor himself.


“From September 15, I will start preparing for my role in the film and then, we will start shooting of the film in January. Basically, Abhinav won gold at the Olympics in 10-meter air rifle event so, we have set up a shooting range and I will be shooting about five months every day with the rifle,” reveals the actor.

The actor goes on to add that he will be spending a lot of time with Abhinav to get into the skin of his role. Not just Harshvardhan, his father Anil Kapoor, who plays his onscreen father in the film, will also spend time with Bindra and his family.

“My father (Anil Kapoor) will also spend a lot of time with them because he plays my father in the film so like Mirziyaan (2016) and Bhavesh Joshi The Superhero it will be another journey,” he says.
