Janhvi Kapoor Trusts Director's Vision Despite Film Row

Janhvi Kapoor recently shared her perspective on the film Peddi, emphasizing her trust in director Buchi Babu Sana's creative choices. Sana, known for his National Film Award-winning debut "Uppena," received Kapoor's confidence as a "director's actor." Kapoor found her entry scene in Peddi to be a notable departure from her prior roles, admitting initial nervousness but satisfaction with the final result. She also spoke about the effort involved in delivering a monologue in Telugu, a language not native to her, which was met with audience applause. This experience provided her with significant validation.

Drawing inspiration from her late mother Sridevi's prolific career, Kapoor aims to collect stories from her own work. She mentioned her mother's anecdotes about dedication, like filming with a high fever, as foundational to her work ethic. Kapoor views these collected experiences as a legacy she hopes to pass on. The film Peddi, which stars Ram Charan as the titular character and Kapoor as his love interest, faced criticism for certain scenes, leading the director to apologize and announce their removal. The film has continued to perform well at the box office.
