Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor continues to deepen her bond with South Indian cinema. The actress, who feels that working in Telugu films brings her emotionally closer to her late mother, legendary actress Sridevi, is being warmly embraced by Tollywood with red-carpet treatment and top-tier offers.
Currently, Janhvi is working on ‘Peddi’, a sports drama directed by Buchi Babu Sana. Set in a rustic village backdrop, the film tells the inspirational story of a rural athlete excelling in both cricket and wrestling. With strong emotional arcs and intense action sequences, the movie highlights the protagonist’s grit as he overcomes obstacles on a difficult journey. While Janhvi’s role remains under wraps, buzz suggests she plays a pivotal character that will further elevate her standing in South cinema.
Adding to her exciting slate, Janhvi is also part of a massive pan-India project featuring Allu Arjun, in a high-stakes collaboration with director Atlee, known for Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. This yet-to-be-titled film is expected to feature multiple female leads, including Mrunal Thakur and Ananya Panday, with Janhvi being positioned as one of the key heroines.
