After portraying a South Indian look opposite Sidharth Malhotra in Param Sundari and gearing up for her role in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumar with Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor might now take on one of her most emotional projects yet.
As per sources, a top producer has approached Janhvi Kapoor for the lead role in the official remake of ChaalBaaz. The original film featured her late mother, Sridevi, in a legendary double role.
ChaalBaaz starred icons like Rajinikanth, Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, and Rohini Hattangadi. Loosely inspired by Seeta Aur Geeta, the film became a cult classic in Indian cinema.
Sources reveal that Janhvi is excited but cautious. She sees this not just as a role, but as an emotional tribute to her mother’s legacy. She has reportedly been taking feedback from close industry insiders.
Though she is interested, Janhvi will take a final decision on the project by the end of September. Until then, speculation continues.
The remake has sparked a mixed response online. Some fans fear a remake could ruin the legacy of the original. Others feel this could be Janhvi’s way of connecting to her mother on screen.
There are also concerns about Janhvi’s acting skills. Critics argue that such an iconic role may be too much of a responsibility for her at this stage of her career.
Details about the producers and director are yet to be revealed. For now, all eyes are on Janhvi and whether she will say yes to stepping into Sridevi’s iconic shoes.
