Janhvi Kapoor is now preparing for the release of her forthcoming film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, alongside Rajkummar Rao. As the lead actors, they are actively engaged in promoting the film both online and offline, building anticipation among the audience for its release.
In a recent interview, Janhvi spoke about working with one of her favorite actors, Pankaj Tripathi, in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, and disclosed that she had a plan to persuade the actor to accept the project.
In an interview with The Lallantop, Janhvi Kapoor was asked to identify one actor who she would want to collaborate with. The actress stated that it was Pankaj Tripathi.
She shared, “I wanted to work with Pankaj Tripathi Sir. He was on my wishlist. People present at the sets of Gunjan Saxena, know that I used to behave like a crazy girl because I was a big fan of him and even today. I had a mannat to make him say yes to the film. I think for 10 or 12 days I became a vegetarian so that he says yes.”
Sharan Sharma directed Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, which was released in 2020. In the narrative, we witness an ambitious Gunjan Saxena aspiring to be a pilot after being captivated to the prospect of life in a cockpit. She also served her nation in the Kargil War.
Meanwhile, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is expected to reach theatres on May 31, 2024.
