Bollywood’s rising star Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for a sensational year ahead, with a bounty of diverse film projects waiting in the queue. As three of her forthcoming films are in the final stages of production, excitement bubbles for her fans, eager to see her portray a variety of roles on the silver screen.
Kapoor’s first upcoming venture, a sports drama titled ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’, sees her stepping into the shoes of a cricket enthusiast. This will be followed by the two-part saga, ‘Devara’, which will showcase her in a power-packed dual release. Additionally, the actress is set to appear in the drama ‘Uljh’, a narrative that explores complex human emotions and relationships.
As these projects reach the verge of their unveiling, four more movies await commencement this year under Janhvi Kapoor’s belt. Summers will mark the beginning of the eagerly anticipated pan-Indian film, tentatively known as RC 16, which ropes in renowned director Buchi Babu and co-stars the eminent Ram Charan. The highlight of this film is its pan-Indian appeal, promising a cinematic treat across various languages and regions.
Simultaneously, Kapoor is preparing to delve into the world of mythology with her role as Draupadi in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s ‘Karna’. This two-part mythological drama is expected to be a visual spectacle, blending the essence of epic narratives with contemporary filmmaking.
In a pleasant switch of genres, Janhvi Kapoor will then reconnect with her ‘Bawaal’ co-star Varun Dhawan and ‘Dhadak’ director Shashank Khaitan for an untitled romantic comedy. Sponsored by the dynamic producer Karan Johar, this project promises to bring refreshing chemistry and light-hearted moments to the audience, set to begin production in June.
In addition to these developments, the entertainment industry buzzes with more news. Mithun Chakraborty, an actor with a remarkable legacy, was admitted to a hospital in Kolkata due to health concerns. Reports suggested chest pain and discomfort, but his son later clarified it was for a routine check-up concerning blood sugar levels. The Padma Bhushan recipient and thrice National Award-winning actor has since reassured his fans of his good health.
Moreover, rumors spiral about Ranveer Singh’s preparation for his role in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’, a film that carries the legacy of Shah Rukh Khan who magnified the ‘Don’ franchise. However, it appears that Farhan initially approached Ranbir Kapoor for the iconic role. The ‘Animal’ actor, having had concerns about the script, has declined to partake in it.
The anticipation for the colossal confrontation between Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger’ and Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ seems to be on a brief pause. Producer Aditya Chopra aims to further tantalize audiences with another thriller installment before revealing the two spies in a direct combat, amplifying excitement within the YRF Spy Universe.
In a lighter vein, actor Jaideep Ahlawat experienced a dreamlike encounter with a childhood hero, writer Ruskin Bond. Exuding joy on social media, Ahlawat treasured the moment, cherishing Bond’s autographed blessing on his personal copy of ‘Collected Short Stories: Ruskin Bond’.
As the year unfolds, the Indian film industry is set to present a collage of narratives with stories waiting to unfold across genres. Janhvi Kapoor’s lineup exemplifies the versatility and the richness of Indian cinema to its audience, both home and abroad. With her calendar brimming with back-to-back projects, Kapoor is undoubtedly cementing her status as a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.
