Jahnvi Kapoor is indeed one of the most talented actresses in the young generation of actresses. Currently, the actress is gearing up for her Telugu debut titled Devara opposite Jr. NTR. The name of her character from the film was revealed 'Thangam' along with her first look that gave the exact resemblance of her mother late legendary actress Sridevi.

Talking about her Telugu dominance and how her mother played a significant role in the same, Janhvi said, "It's my first Telugu film. so a lot of my time is spent learning the dialogue as I don't speak the language. My mum spoke to us in Hindi and English at home. But whenever we went to Chennai (Tamil Nadu), more often than not. she would speak in Tamil. I am more familiar with Tamil than I am with Telugu,".

Janhvi shares that working on the film feels like "homecoming, “I feel ki main ghar aa gayi hoon. Everyone on set feels like my own. I don't know if It's because of my intense emotional attachment to mum or if l am feeling attached to her by doing a film down south. It's spiritual" she added further.

Having her foot in both the entertainment industries, Hindi and South, Janhvi is indeed taking the legacy of her mother late Sridevi Ji ahead. The way Sridevi ji gave blockbuster films in both South and Hindi cinema, Janhvi is also stepping up on the same road. While Janhvi has delivered some amazing films in Bollywood, she is now gearing up for her Telugu Debut Devara which will be released in April.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Janhvi will next be seen in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi.
