Janhvi Kapoor to Star in First Creature Horror Film

Janhvi Kapoor is reportedly in advanced negotiations to star in an ambitious creature horror film, marking her foray into an entirely new genre. This project is considered a key film as she carefully curates her upcoming projects following the release of 'Peddi'. Industry insiders suggest significant progress in discussions, with early behind-the-scenes groundwork already initiated.

The film is expected to be helmed by Rahi Anil Barve, the acclaimed director behind the critically successful horror-fantasy 'Tumbbad'. Makers are reportedly targeting a production start later in the current year. This venture into creature horror is anticipated to demand a deeper level of character immersion from Kapoor.

While Kapoor has prior experience in horror-adjacent roles, including 'Ghost Stories' and the horror-comedy 'Roohi', this would be her first leading role in a dedicated creature horror narrative. The role is expected to involve extensive workshops and preparation sessions to adapt to the film's unique tone and setting.
