Harshvardhan Kapoor was the first choice for this Rajkummar Rao character

Harshvardhan Kapoor is undoubtedly a very promising and experimental actor. Despite being a star kid, he didn't resort to traditional masala commercial movies. It can be said that his style of acting and choice of movies is a little out of place for mainstream Bollywood. In a recent interview, he shared that he has plans to work in Hollywood.
He told a news outlet, Might happen, fingers crossed. I've always had one eye on the West. I think my way of working, what I've been exposed to... I don't think I would be out of place. But obviously, it's beyond my control. If something happens, I promise I'll work very hard and seize the opportunity... It's a door that I definitely want to open up for myself.
He further shared that he was shortlisted for Rajkummar Rao's part in 'The White Tiger' but ultimately lost it. He said, The White Tiger, I auditioned for Rajkummar Rao's role. I almost got it, as well. They really liked me for it. But Priyanka (Chopra) came on board, they wanted a slightly older actor, I looked very young. I am a lot younger, and Raj is such a phenomenal actor, but that was kind of a close call.
