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.
