Anil’s son and actor Harshvardhan Kapoor, who debuted in Bollywood with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s _Mirzya_ , will be seen essaying the role of Abhinav in the biopic. This is the first time Anil and Harshvardhan will be sharing the screen space together. Harshvardhan had previously revealed that the film will track Abhinav’s journey from being a 15-year-old to 35-year-old. Abhinav Bindra became the first Indian sportsperson to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics, when he won the 10 m Air Rifle event at the 2008 games, held in Beijing. Harshvarshan was last seen in _Bhavesh Joshi Superhero_ , directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. It was produced by Anurag Kashyap, Motwane, Vikas Bahl and Madhu Mantena’s Phantom Films. Meanwhile, Anil was a part of _Total Dhamaal_ and  Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga.   (With inputs from Asian News International)
