“Despite his debut film generating a lukewarm response at the box office, the actor has bagged films with celebrated film-makers. Harshvardhan decided to follow Mirzya with Bhavesh Joshi, as opposed to mainstream song and dance fare. The actor has also signed for director Sriram Raghvan’s next project,” says a source.
