Anil Kapoor revealed that his son Harsh Varrdhan approached him for Netflix's Thar. He shared how he played an integral part in bringing the film together, which is produced by Anil Kapoor Film Company (AFKC).

Anil Kapoor and Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor-starrer Thar is set to premiere on Netflix on May 6. Apart from acting, Harshvarrdhan is also associated with the film as a producer. Produced by Anil Kapoor Film Company (AFKC) and directed by Raj Singh Chaudhary, Thar also features Fatima Sana Shaikh and Satish Kaushik.

Thar marks Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor's debut as a producer. Speaking about Harsh Varrdhan and the film, his father, Anil Kapoor said, “Harsh Varrdhan has a very unique approach and his choices of films are also very distinct. The film was brought to me by Harsh Varrdhan and he was very passionate about the project and he played an integral part in this film coming together. The story strikes the perfect balance between gritty and slick, grainy and smooth, fast paced yet nuanced. It is Harshvarrdhan’s first film as producer and I could see the passion in him from the word go. Thar is an experience and I can't wait for audiences to watch it!"

Talking about how Thar came into being, Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor added, "When I read Thar, I realised right away that it was unique in terms of its mood atmosphere and tone as well as in its narrative. I was aware that I was in a situation where I’d have to preserve to get what was on the page onto screen without any compromise. With a film so ambitious, there was bound to be great learning both in front of and behind the camera for me personally. I believe that out of the few films I’ve done so far Thar has been the most educational experience for me. We’ve tried to do something different and are excited to share it with audiences around the world with Netflix."

Thar stars Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Satish Kaushik and Anil Kapoor in lead roles. The film follows Siddharth, an antique dealer’s journey through a remote village in Rajasthan that has recently been rocked by a series of violent murders. As the local cop Surekha Singh investigates these killings, she meets Siddharth.
