As the clock chimes in celebration of the 27th year of Janhvi Kapoor’s life on March 6th, the spotlight shines brightly on the dynamic journey this starlet has embarked upon. Garnering attention not only for her cinematic contributions but also for her sartorial elegance, Janhvi Kapoor has lived up to her lineage, being the progeny of the iconic actress Sridevi and esteemed producer Boney Kapoor. Her foray into the film industry commenced with the heartfelt performance in ‘Dhadak’, a poignant retelling of the Marathi blockbuster ‘Sairat’, in 2018. Since then, Janhvi’s oeuvre has displayed a rich tapestry of roles in acclaimed movies like ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’, the heartwarming ‘Good Luck Jerry’, and the intense ‘Mili’.
Janhvi’s upcoming performances portend a continued trajectory of critical and commercial success. Her collaboration with Rajkummar Rao in the upcoming ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi’ sports drama projects her in the role of a cricketer. Sharan Sharma, who steered ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’, directs this film, which anticipates casting a spotlight on the legacy of former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni. Their camaraderie that commenced with the film ‘Roohi’ will be revisited on screen on April 19.
Segueing to a grander canvas, Janhvi is set to star in ‘Devara’. In this ambitious venture, she shares the frame with Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan, under the adept direction of Koratala Siva. With the soul-stirring musical compositions of Anirudh Ravichander, ‘Devara’ is expected to enrapture audiences across two cinematic releases starting October 10, against a backdrop of scenic coastal landscapes.
In ‘Ulajh’, a narrative woven with threads of patriotism and thrills, Janhvi has already wrapped up filming alongside talented co-stars Roshan Mathew and Gulshan Devaiah. Directed by the acclaimed National Award winner Sudhanshu Saria, the film is tipped to be unfurling a spine-tingling, edge-of-the-seat experience.
Adding a dash of romance to her spectrum is ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’, slated to premiere on April 18, 2025. The cinematic canvas will depict the chemistry between Janhvi and Varun Dhawan, under the directorial baton of Shashank Khaitan. This film, which is being produced by Karan Johar, heralds the third creative symbiosis between Varun and Shashank post the hit films ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ and ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, and marks the second chapter of Janhvi with the director subsequent to her debut. It also serves as the sophomore collaborative venture of Janhvi and Varun after ‘Bawaal’.
