EXCLUSIVE: Janhvi Kapoor reveals that she can’t sleep without hearing the word ‘action’

Revealing that she has learnt to push herself with each film, Janhvi Kapoor mentioned that she can’t sleep without hearing the word ‘action’. She told Bollywood Hungama, “I have learnt so much about acting and myself. How much I can push myself. I didn't know I could function in such tough and extreme conditions being so unwell as unwell as I was, and being and the only thing that was keeping me going was hearing ‘action’ and then, I didn't feel any pain. I just wanted to live this. And it was so riveting. And I think that's when I realized the power of the word action. Like, you know, now what's happening to me now I can't sleep till I hear the word action. Achha abhi sone ka shot dedo, neend aa jayegi (Now it’s the sleep shot and I will sleep).”

She went on to add, “I was telling Sharan (director of Mr. and Mrs. Mahi) that in my dream, I was doing a shot ki main so rahi hoon (that I was sleeping). And my sister was sleeping next to me and she told me how I kept giving a shot. In my dream, there was a Jimmy Jib camera on top and Sharan kept saying action and reset.”

Coming to the film, Mili is a remake of the Malayalam film Helen. The film is slated to release on November 4 and also stars Sunny Kaushal and Manoj Pahwa in a pivotal role.
