Janhvi Kapoor Calls Mr. India As One Of ‘Best Films To Have Come Out Of Indian Cinema’

By Bollywood Hungama News Network

Janhvi delved into her thoughts on the possibility of a Mr. India sequel, the legendary film that catapulted her mother to stardom.

Janhvi Kapoor has firmly established herself as an actor to watch. With a string of critically acclaimed performances in films like Dhadak, Gunjan Saxena:

The Kargil Girl, and Mili, she has carved a niche for herself in the industry.

As she gears up for the release of her upcoming thriller, Ulajh, the actress opened up about her career, family, and the iconic legacy of her mother, Sridevi.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Janhvi delved into her thoughts on the possibility of a Mr. India sequel, the legendary film that catapulted her mother to stardom.

When asked if she would be interested in being part of the much-anticipated sequel, the actress expressed her reservations.

“Mr. India is one of the best films to have come out of Indian cinema. I don’t know if a film like that should ever be remade or touched again,” she stated. “I don’t know what the plans for that are.

Again, I think the makers know best. Whoever the director would be, he will know best. Something as pure as that, you can’t enforce things on that.”

Despite being the daughter of filmmaker Boney Kapoor and the late legendary actress Sridevi, Janhvi maintains a healthy distance from her father’s professional life. She shares, “Never have I been like, ‘No, I don’t want to do this film’. I trust his judgement, too much. I never reject it.

But I have never put that pressure on him to have me in his film. I am his daughter first and an actress speaking to a producer, second. It’s not even in my head. As a daughter, I want him to make decisions that are best for his business model; for his movie.

And I only want him to operate in that way, so I haven’t ever been like, ‘Please take me (in your film)’.”

With Ulajh set to release on August 2, 2024, and several other promising projects in the pipeline, including Devara: Part 1, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, and RC 16.
