I just heard the news Janhvi Kapoor will be starring in the Malayalam movie Helens remake. Helen was frontlined by the amazing Anna Ben who was just perfect in this role. I don’t know how or why Janhvi kapoor who has shown that she is a below average actor has bagged this role. Maybe it’s because of her father and mothers influence?
She has also filmed for Kolamavu Kokila remake which started Nayanthara who is a very experienced actor. Again Janhvi was given this role.
It’s clear that Boney uses his influence in South (the industry there respects him cause of Sridevi) to find out which FEMALE ORIENTED movies are big hits and buys the rights to give them to his daughter. This is the perfect example of nepotism. Even if these films do well in Hindi they will never reach their full potential by casting someone who is just not suited or has the acting ability for this role. I really dislike how Karan Johar and Boney are trying to force Janhvi down everyones throats as a “serious” actress under the lie that shes “choosing” all these brilliant female oriented movies when in fact they know these movies did well and they want to piggyback of that success for Janhvi so she is just handed these movies on a platter.
When will outsiders like sanya tripti radhika mrunal be given these amazing roles? They will surely be so so good and do the role justice but yet again the preference is to the star kids. Its SO disappointing to see.
Please do watch the original Helen and Kolamavu Kokila before you watch whatever flop Janhvi comes up with.
