Actor Janhvi Kapoor is all set to debut in south cinema with Koratala Siva’s ‘Devara: Part 1,’ starring Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. In the film, she plays a village belle called Thangam. In a recent interview, Janhvi talked about how she’s finding it difficult to learn her lines for the film.
During the interview, Janhvi mentioned that she received her ‘Devara’ lines and wants to learn them. However, she seemed nervous because she doesn’t know the language. She said, “I never learned Telugu and it is something I am ashamed of. I can understand it phonetically, but I can’t speak it. Yes, it is one of my biggest regrets. This part of me had been dormant for a while. But the ‘Devara’ team is very patient and helpful. They are working with such stalwarts and I am so grateful they are just a call away to help me with my lines.”
Meanwhile, Janhvi’s father, producer Boney Kapoor recently confirmed that the actress has films lined up with Ram Charan and Suriya. Neither confirming nor denying the news, she said, “My father has gone and made some announcement, and I don’t know what he has said. It’s too early to talk about the other films. My father has definitely not spoken to me or my producers. I wish I belonged to a universe where you just shoot films, you didn’t have to announce, clarify or deny them.”
On with work front, apart from her Telugu projects with Jr NTR and Ram Charan and a Hindi film with Suriya, Janhvi will be seen in ‘Mr and Mrs Mahi,’ ‘Ulajh’ and ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.’
