New Delhi: Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor recently visited New Delhi to promote her forthcoming film, “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi,” alongside co-star Rajkummar Rao. The highly anticipated film is scheduled to hit theatres on May 31, 2024. Despite the frenetic pace of the promotional tour, Kapoor enthusiastically shared her transformative journey in preparation for the role and her affinity for the city of Delhi.
During an exclusive interview, Janhvi revealed the lengths she went to in embodying her character for “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi”. “I was around 8-9 kgs heavier and had to adhere to a stringent fitness regime to look the part of a cricketer,” she explained. “But it was a thoroughly rewarding experience, and I enjoyed every moment of it.” This transformation reflects her dedication to authenticity in her roles, a trait that’s garnering her admiration across the industry.
Kapoor’s visit to Delhi brought back fond memories. “Delhi always feels like home. The last time I was here, it was for the promotion of ‘Dhadak’,” she reminisced. She further added, “Unfortunately, Rajkummar couldn’t join me this time as he is currently shooting for another project in Varanasi.”
When the conversation turned towards cricket, a sport integral to the film’s plot, Janhvi shared her own fandom. Her favorite cricketer? The iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Her eyes sparkling with admiration, she said, “Dhoni is not just a phenomenal player but also a great leader. His ability to remain calm under pressure is something I truly admire.”
The promo activity surrounding “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” has sparked considerable buzz, fuelled partly by the release of the film’s trailer, which has already captivated a vast audience. Starring Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles, the film is directed by Sharan Sharma. Sharma’s directorial prowess coupled with a script penned by him and Nikhil Mehrotra sets high expectations for the venture.
Backed by the proficient team at Zee Studios and Dharma Productions, “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” enjoys the heavyweight production support of Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, and Apoorva Mehta, alongside Zee Studios itself. This stellar combination of talent and resources is undoubtedly a formula for cinematic excellence.
