Opening up about his Hollywood aspiration, Harsh shared, “I have always had one eye on the West. I don’t know if its going to happen or not. The way of working, to what I have been exposed to, I don’t think I would be out of place. But obviously its beyond my control.

Revealing how he auditioned for The White Tiger and almost bagged the role, the actor said, “I have auditioned for several Hollywood films. For The White Tiger, I auditioned for Rajkummar’s role. I almost got it as well. They really liked me for it. But I think Priyanka kind of came on board and they wanted a slightly older actor, and I look very young, I am a lot younger and obviously Rajkummar is such a phenomenal actor as well. But that was kind of a close call there. I do have one eye on West and I do believe on the power of manifestation.” For unversed, Harsh had also auditioned for Life of Pi.
