Mumbai, Sep 14: It was an emotional moment for actor Anil Kapoor as he attended the music launch of his son Harshvardhan's debut film 'Mirzya', and the proud father said he wishes the youngster gets as much love from the industry as he has got.

anilkThe entire Kapoor family, including Harshvardhan's star sisters Sonam and Rhea and uncle Boney with actress wife Sridevi, were present at the function here.

'Mirzya' has been directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Inspired by the Punjabi folklore of 'Mirza-Sahiban', the film has the screenplay by noted writer Gulzar.

"Life has come full circle today. My father came here to the industry a few decades back. He saw success, disappointments, but that gave me and my brothers strength. I want to thank my father, mother, my brothers," Anil said at the launch, with tears in eyes.

"It is a very joyous moment for me today. My son Harshvardhan is here. Beta ho toh aisa ho (A son should be like him). But I want to say, he doesn't listen to me at all," the 59-year-old star said in jest.

Anil further said that contrary to general perception, he had no hand in getting Harshvardhan bag his debut project. The father of the 25-year-old actor said Harshvardhan is quite different from him and there lies his strength.

"I know people are apprehensive about star sons. But I can assure you, whatever he has done today, he has done it on his own. He got the film on his own. Absolutely. He believes he is different. Don't expect anything from him that we did. That's his strength."

"Rakeysh spotted him, groomed him and the entire team have made him 'Mirzya' today and I can see 'Mirzya' on screen today. All of you here, media, my colleagues, have given me love and support. So, whatever love and affection you have given me for so many years, please give it to my son," Anil said.

Also starring debutante Saiyami Kher, the niece of noted actress Tanvi Azmi, 'Mirzya' is slated to hit the theatres on October 7. The romantic saga has been co-produced by ROMP Pictures and Cinestaan Film Company.

Patna, Aug 3: Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey on Sunday charged that Vinay Tiwari, the IPS officer from Patna who is in Mumbai to probe a case related to Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, has been "forcibly quarantined" by civic authorities in the metropolis.

Tiwari is heading a Bihar Police team which is in Mumbai to investigate an ''abetment to suicide'' case on the basis of a complaint filed by the late actor's father in Patna.

"IPS officer Vinay Tiwari reached Mumbai today from Patna on official duty to lead the police team there but he has been forcibly quarantined by BMC officials at 11 PM today," Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Pandey tweeted.

"He was not provided accommodation in the IPS mess, despite request, and was staying in a Guest House in Goregaon," he said.

Sushant's sister Shweta Singh Kirti has tweeted, " What? Is this even for real? How can an officer sent on duty be quarantined for 14 Days?".

Rajput, 34, was found hanging from the ceiling of his Bandra residence on June 24 last.

Last month, Rajput's father lodged an FIR here of abetment to suicide naming actress Rhea Chakraborty, said to be close to the deceased Patna-born actor, and her family members as accused. Tiwari was posted as the City SP (East) in Patna.

The Mumbai Police, which is also probing the death case, have so far recorded statements of nearly 40 people, including those from Rajput's family, his cook and people from the film industry that include filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, film critic Rajeev Masand, director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali and filmmaker Aditya Chopra.
