Sonam Kapoor nervous about brother’s Bollywood debut

Joining the bandwagon of celebrity children is Anil Kapoor’s youngest son Harshvardhan.

Joining the latest bandwagon of celebrity children entering B-Town is Anil Kapoor’s youngest son, the youngest of his three children. His famous sister Sonam Kapoor, who has already made a name for herself in Bollywood, is nervous about seeing her younger brother Harshvardhan on-screen. As reported in July last year, he will be launched  by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who worked with Sonam Kapoor in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Harshvadhan Kapoor will play the lead role in Rakeysh’s dream project  Mirza Sahiba.

“I am happy he is here (in the film industry). But I am very nervous because he is a kid and I hope he does well,” Sonam told PTI, as reported by Deccan Chronicle.

The film is a tragedy based on a folklore which has been given a contemporary touch. Harshvardhan will be seen as Mirza in the film.

The newbie returned from the US after studying screenplay writing and acting. Earlier, he worked as assistant director to Anurag Kashyap on his upcoming film Bombay Velvet which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

Sonam is happy about the way her cousin Arjun Kapoor is doing in Bollywood. “I think he (Arjun) is an incredible actor and he is good looking. He is really a nice person. I think good people should do well in life,” Sonam said.

Sonam and Arjun share a good friendly relation and both are protective about each other. “He loves to be my brother, he loves playing that role. I would love for us to be friends. I think I am more protective about him. He is also protective, even though he pretends he is not. He wants to be my friend and wants to be cool but he is not,” she joked.
