New Delhi:
Janhvi Kapoor has a very busy schedule. His film catalog also includes Koratala Siva. Devara, co-starring Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan. The film marks Janhvi’s Telugu film debut. In a recent interview with Weeksaid the actress: “I just received the dialogues from Devara last night, and all I want to do is sit in my room and learn my lines.” Speaking about the project, Janhvi told The Week: “I never learned Telugu and it’s something I’m ashamed of. I can understand it phonetically, but I can’t speak it. Yes, it’s one of my biggest regrets.” And he added: “This part of me had been asleep for a while. But Devara The team is very patient and helpful. “They are working with such hardcore people and I am so grateful that they are just a phone call away to help me with my lines.”
On Karan Johar’s chat show Coffee with Karan 8 Last year, Janhvi Kapoor opened up about her experience working on Devara and she said, “I realized this when I showed up on the set, at the Devara film sets. I felt like everything I had done until now had been like workshops, or preparing or getting to know myself. The first few years, I don’t think I realized how lost I was, how similar I was to a headless chicken. Internally, emotionally and the only thing I knew was that I love my job. And, in many ways, it keeps me alive and sane. In many ways, I was escaping into my work. So, I feel like when I walked onto this set, I was like, ‘Okay, this is who I am.’ And this is what I am. And all that knowledge and all those experiences have prepared me for this moment. I really value all those movies and experiences. But I feel like this is my calling and I feel better about myself and what I hope to do from now on.”
Devara is scheduled to release in theaters on October 10 and will mark the first collaboration of Janhvi Kapoor and superstar Jr NTR.
