Janhvi Kapoor will remake Sridevi’s Chaalbaaz, and social media gave mixed reactions.
Janhvi Kapoor become the new Sita of Chaalbaaz?
Whenever there is talk of remakes in Bollywood, the magic of old hits also comes along.
Now it is heard that Sridevi’s classic comedy Chaalbaaz will be presented again in a new way with Janhvi Kapoor‘s screen debut.
Earlier, this project was linked to Shraddha Kapoor’s name, but it was never confirmed.
No,w according to reports, Janhvi is ready for this role – and mixed reactions of fans are going viral on social media.
Social media reaction
If you read the viral comments, you will hear all kinds of things.
One user wrote, “JK does not know even a fraction of acting! Please do not ruin it. We will see Sridevi again.”
Another quipped, “Remove this manager immediately, such roles are beyond anyone’s limitation.”
Some said, “There is no actress left with such comic timing—who can play this after Juhi Chawla?”
and a fan was seen commenting, “This movie was supposed to be made with Shraddha, why suddenly Janhvi?”
Janhvi’s emotional connection
Bollywood Hungama sources reveal that for Janhvi, Chaalbaaz is not just a film but an emotion.
“She was amazed to see Shashank Khaitan’s film and secretly thought that she would like to work with him one day,” says the source.
Now that she is taking up this role, she is taking every step carefully.
The decision is expected to come in September itself, as Janhvi is taking concessions from her close friends and mentors so that any kind of comparison is less impacted.
Glimpse of upcoming projects
Janhvi has a crazy schedule after Param Sundari.
The teaser of her new film with Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf was released recently, which was appreciated by the audience.
Apart from this, the first look of Peddi with Ram Charan has also come out.
By the end of this year, Janhvi’s fans will get to see her on the big screen.
Shraddha’s time and pure competition
Shraddha Kapoor has made her mark by giving blockbuster comedies like Stree 2 and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
But she confirmed her next project half a year ago and there has been no update since then.
Now Janhvi has big challenges – both Shraddha’s image and Sridevi’s legacy.
Signs of a new challenge
The character of Sita in Chaalbaaz will test anyone’s skills – it is not easy to maintain a smile and dialogue.
Janhvi has no dearth of opportunities, but expectations have doubled with this role.
As September approaches, the verdict will be clear whether Janhvi will be able to carry that shoe-like image, or cinema will once again be confined to Sridevi’s memories. Now all that remains is to wait.
