Is Janhvi Kapoor locked for Simmba?

Jhanvi Kapoor, the daughter of seasoned Indian actress Sridevi, has reportedly given her nod to her second Bollywood project much before her debut film, Dhadak, which hits screens on 20th July 2018.

Reports are doing the rounds that the newbie has been roped in to play the female lead in Rohit Shetty's upcoming directorial, Simmba, which is the Hindi remake of NTR's Telugu blockbuster, Temper.


It was filmmaker Karan Johar, who is mentoring Jhanvi under his tutelage, who decided to take Janhvi onboard for the movie since he is co-producing it with Rohit Shetty. If the actress has really joined the cast of the remake, it will be her first movie with the popular Bollywood actor, Ranveer Singh.

Some reports claim that initially, Sridevi had some reservations about her daughter being part of the film as Kajal Aggarwal, who played the female lead in Temper, had limited screen space. However, when Karan Johar ensured that Janhvi will get a bigger part to play in the remake, the seasoned actress greenlit the project.

Jhanvi is currently shooting for her debut film, Dhadak, with newcomer Ishaan Khattar. The film is a remake of Marathi blockbuster, Sairat, and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 20th July.
