Anil Kapoor recently visited Siddhivinayak temple for a successful start of his son Harshwardhan's debut film 'Mirziya'. The "Jhakaas" star is not only happy to soon see his son's hard work on the silver screen but he also made it a point to thank director Rakeysh Omprakesh Mehra to give his son such a big launch pad. Incidentally, Anil's daughter Sonam Kapoor too had worked under Mehra in 'Delhi 6'.

We were told that Anil Kapoor is extremely grateful to the ace director for giving Harshwardhan a big break with his movie. Anil Kapoor has been very happy for his son to get a project as big and under the umbrella of Rakeysh Mehra.

One cannot forget the fact that, Rakeysh whose last release 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' not only became a blockbuster but also got enlisted as one of the only Biopic to become such a success. He was convinced that Harshwardhan would be the perfect choice to essay the role.
