Janhvi Kapoor appears to be looking for more substantial roles rather than being limited to glamorous appearances in big-ticket films.
The actress has not spoken much about Peddi following its release.
According to industry sources, director Buchi Babu Sana had reportedly tried to reach out to Janhvi after certain scenes involving her character drew criticism and were later removed from the film. However, Janhvi has not publicly confirmed any differences with the filmmaker.
While Peddi had a decent run in the domestic Telugu market, Janhvi has largely stayed away from discussing the film in interviews or media interactions over the past few months.
At a recent promotional event for an advertisement, Janhvi appeared to hint at a change in the kind of roles she wants to take up.
She indicated that she is interested in characters that offer more meaning and substance, rather than simply serving as glamorous additions to big-star projects.
Her comments have naturally led to speculation that she may become more selective about her upcoming films.
Interestingly, Janhvi is reportedly playing a significant female role in Allu Arjun’s Raaka, although the makers have not officially announced her casting yet.
If her latest comments are any indication, Janhvi could be entering a phase where the depth and importance of her characters take priority over the scale of the projects she signs.
