I already started learning Kathak and Urdu for Takht: Janhvi
It has been over a year-and-a-half that Janhvi Kapoor has had a release since her debut film, Dhadak. And, the actor is set to cover up for this gap in 2020.
In fact, she has started that right in the beginning of the year with her web anthology film, Ghost Stories, that’s already out. She has four more films – Roohi Afza, Dostana 2, Gunjan Saxena and Takht – lined up. In a freewheeling conversation, Janhvi talks about her digital debut, how it’s exciting to be a part of films that offer variety but at the same time, why she’s not a fan of putting them into any box.
People like to divide cinema into commercial or art, but I think it’s stupid to put labels on films. Every good film that has resonated with people has had something honest or fresh to say. If a film follows a specific criteria but is hollow and made with wrong intentions, it’s not going to touch anyone’s lives. So, all the films I’m doing, aspire to say something in whatever way – comedy, horror or drama.
