With the Hindi film Dhadak, Janhvi Kapoor made her acting debut in 2018. Now, she is all ready to make her much-anticipated South cinema debut. All eyes are on her as Sridevi’s daughter because her mother dominated not just South cinema but also Bollywood for the majority of her acting career. Earlier rumours that Janhvi had agreed to star in a Vijay Deverakonda movie proved to be untrue.
Finally, Janhvi will appear alongside Telugu actor Jr. NTR in his 30th film, which will be directed by renowned filmmaker Koratala Siva. The movie will begin production next month, with an April 2024 release date. The movie poster was just released by the filmmakers.
Sridevi, the legendary actress who gave birth to Janhvi Kapoor, began her career in Tamil cinema. In 1976, she made her acting debut as the lead in K Balachander’s Moondru Mudichu, which launched her career as a superstar. Sridevi, who worked in the Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam film industries, rose to fame quickly and was dubbed the Female Superstar. She subsequently turned her attention to Bollywood, where she reigned for many years as the industry’s queen before being married to Boney Kapoor and stepping away from the spotlight in 1997.
The Indian public has very high hopes for Janhvi and Khushi, Sridevi’s daughters, and their acting careers, which is only reasonable. Six films have been produced by Janhvi in her Bollywood career, and while some critics have praised her acting, others have criticised it. She has, however, gotten better at acting with each new movie, demonstrating her desire to be as successful as Sridevi.
The bottomline is that Janhvi Kapoor is here to stay in Indian cinema even if she doesn’t see the kind of super stardom that her highly talented mother saw.
Janhvi must have struggled to choose which South Indian language to make her acting debut in because Sridevi left her mark in all of them. Since her father, Boney Kapoor, produced three films with the Tamil actor, there was a lot of speculation that she might make her acting debut with him in Tamil. Ajith is well-known to Sridevi and appeared in the movie English Vinglish as a cameo.
She must feel more pressure because the South Indian audience would undoubtedly compare her performance to that of her mother. As her mother was fluent in Telugu, Janhvi is also likely to be familiar with that language. She speaks Tamil with ease.
