His last two films did not do well at the box office but Harshvardhan Kapoor is not deterred, as the actor says he is aware that it is extremely difficult to make a movie which will have a universal appeal. The actor's debut in 2016 Mirzya and his this year's follow up Bhavesh Joshi were low key performers at the ticket window, though the actor received praise, especially for his performance in Vikramaditya Motwane's vigilante superhero film.

Harshvardhan says his films are a representation of who he is and he stands by his choices. "I look at the movies I have done at 26 years of age and then I look at other movies that are making money, sometimes I wonder would I really want to be a part of (those)? I am really happy with the work I do. It is a very personal thing, you're in it for yourself," Harshvardhan tells PTI. Both the failures, the actor says, taught him about people's sensibilities. "I am still coming to terms with that. You learn about how people would like to see you. It's hard, there are so many different kinds of people, how do you make them happy with one piece of art. You have to also make yourself happy. It's tricky."
