Making Films With Honesty
Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for the release of her upcoming Telugu film ‘Peddi’, and she’s been talking about her creative philosophy. In a recent interview, the ‘Dhadak’ star shared her belief that filmmaking is ultimately an ‘act of service’ for the audience. She explained that when a film is made with honesty, hard work, and good intentions, it naturally reaches the people who need to see it. For Janhvi, the whole purpose of cinema is to entertain and connect with viewers, making their feedback invaluable.
The 29-year-old actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2018, emphasised that a filmmaker cannot ignore what the audience feels. ‘We are only catering to them,’ she said, adding that every opinion helps the industry create better work. Janhvi welcomes all reactions, positive or negative, because they push artists to improve their craft.
Dealing With Quick Judgments
Janhvi also addressed the culture of social media users writing off films before even watching them. She acknowledged that people are quick to judge, but that’s all part of the game. The actress believes that if a film is made with sincerity, it will find its audience regardless of early backlash. Instead of being defensive, she prefers to absorb criticism and use it as fuel to do better next time.
‘At the end of the day, it’s an act of service, right?’ she said, summing up her approach. For Janhvi, the audience is like God, and the film industry exists to serve them. So every piece of feedback, even the harsh ones, is welcome. It’s this grounded perspective that keeps her focused amidst the chaos of social media noise.
Upcoming Projects: Peddi and Beyond
On the work front, Janhvi has two major releases lined up. First up is ‘Peddi’, a Telugu film directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Boman Irani, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu. ‘Peddi’ is finally hitting theatres on June 4, and fans are eagerly waiting to see Janhvi in a South Indian language film again.
On the Bollywood side, she was last seen in ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ by Shashank Khaitan, which also featured Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi. Janhvi continues to balance her work across Hindi and regional cinema, always approaching each project with the same service-minded attitude. With ‘Peddi’ around the corner, all eyes are on how this multilingual star will conquer yet another audience.
