Janhvi’s Hilarious Airport Encounter
Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for her next big release ‘Peddi’, but before that, she’s been busy making waves internationally — and not just on screen. The actress recently opened up about a fun experience she had at immigration while travelling to America, and it’s all thanks to the global phenomenon that is ‘RRR’.
During a candid chat with the press, Janhvi revealed that the moment she tells airport officers she’s an actor, their immediate reaction is to bring up Ram Charan and Jr NTR. “Even at immigration, they ask, ‘Are you an actor?’ and I say, ‘Yes, I am an actor.’ Then they go like, ‘Oh yes, RRR… Ram Charan… NTR,’ and I’m like, ‘Sure!'” she laughed. Safe to say, the ‘RRR’ fever is very much alive, yaar.
How RRR Took Over the World
Janhvi’s story isn’t just a random anecdote — it’s proof of how SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus has become a cultural touchstone worldwide. Released in 2022, ‘RRR’ shattered box office records and earned international acclaim, including an Oscar for its chartbuster ‘Naatu Naatu’. The film’s larger-than-life action and bromance between Ram Charan and Jr NTR turned them into global icons.
“The reference point for Indians right now is you,” Janhvi said, pointing to the massive impact of the two stars. And honestly, she’s not wrong. From Hollywood stars to random airport staff, everyone wants a piece of that ‘RRR’ magic. Janhvi couldn’t be prouder to be associated with that legacy, especially since she shared screen space with Jr NTR in ‘Devara’.
From Devara to Peddi: Janhvi’s Telugu Journey
Janhvi’s love for Telugu cinema is no secret. After making her debut opposite Jr NTR in ‘Devara’, she’s now all set for her second Telugu outing — ‘Peddi’, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film is a village-based sports drama where Janhvi plays a “crossover athlete” who inspires and fights for the oppressed through sport and spirit. The ensemble cast includes Divyenndu, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Ravi Kishan, and Boman Irani.
‘Peddi’ arrives in theatres on June 4, with special premieres on June 3. With Janhvi’s growing connect to the South Indian audience and the global stardom of ‘RRR’ still shining bright, this one is definitely on our watchlist. Kya scene hai, Janhvi!
