"I know that it's very important to have a six pack these days but let me tell you that Harshvardhan gave me 18 months just for the preparation for the role," Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra said. "Kapoor plays a horse rider in the film and if you have seen people who ride horses for a living you will realise that they hardly boast of huge muscles. Harshwardhan doesn't play a boxer in Mirzya, he plays a man who is very good at horse riding and mounted archery," he added
Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade truly believes that administrative support to sports other than cricket can help talent in fields like archery attain great success.
