Sridevi's little girl, Jhanvi Kapoor seems to have a lot more on her plate than shopping and selfies.

The 16-year-old has been stepping out with her mother for many on-trend red carpet outings but it is not just the fashionistas who have been watching the teenager closely.

The precocious fashionista has now caught the eye of talent scouts down South and film offers galore for the school student.
A source from the family told Mirror, "Sridevi has a major fan following down South and she is well connected in the industry and Jhanvi has been getting a lot of offers from Southern producers planning Hindi projects."

The source added that offers include projects starring other star kids from the Southern film industry.

"She has been offered a film opposite Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi's son and also another film with Nagarjuna's son Naga Chaitanya. But her parents believe that she is too young to start in the industry," said the source. But the fact that her own mother started as a child actor seems to be giving hope to the scouts from down South. "Allu Arvind, Ashwini Dutt, Dil Raju, all major filmmakers from the regional industries have contacted her father Boney, but as of now he has said no," added the source.

In an interview to this paper in August 2012, Sridevi had categorically stated, "Right now I want her to concentrate on studies. When she completes her studies, ideally I would like her to get married and settle down. Dekhte hain aage." Will she finally bend her rules, only time will tell.
