At the trailer launch, Anil said, "When we were shooting for Thar, I had one or two suggestions, but he rejected it. He did it in his own way, and he was right and I was wrong. I enjoyed working with him."

Anil also recalled working with Harsh on their first film, AK vs AK, in which the latter had a guest appearance. The Hindi-language black comedy thriller film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, which also starred Anil's daughter Sonam Kapoor in a cameo, was released on Netflix in December 2020.

He said, "The tentativeness and anxiousness was there when we started AK vs AK. Harsh had a long monologue in the film and I had never done that in my career. But when Harsh finished the shot - Vikram (Motwane) and Anurag (Kashyap) have always been critical yet encouraging for him - Anurag clapped, and Vikram hugged him. So, there I saw what he is capable of. People have this wrong impression of him that he is introvert and serious. When I saw him do that scene which was so funny, I was happy that media, critics and everybody praised his work and loved what he did. So, I feel happy and proud."

Thar will release on Netflix on May 6. The desi western thriller set in the Thar desert of Rajasthan stars Anil as a cop and Harsh Varrdhan as a criminal. The film also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Satish Kaushik.
