No way.
I don't think she wants to debut in South or even if she will. BW is her target, but I don't think Jhanvi will succeed here as well as she would probably in the South. Here, she is part of the Kapoor family which already has Sonam, Arjun and soon Harsh in BW as well as Anil already. She will be one of many from a film family. But down South she is Sridevi's daughter only and people still remember her mom especially Telugu and Tamil than BW IMO. IDK if Sri has maintained them, but she knows people who produce their own movies and have star sons. People like the Akineni family. So Jhanvi might succeed more and get more chances down South than BW IMO.
ETA: As far as knowing Telugu and Tamil, people like Shreya Goshal regularly go down South and sings in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. IDK if she knows the languages. But her pronunciation is spot on. Lata Mahgeshkar has done South songs. Even Arjit has. If songs can why not dialogs. Dialogs can be written in English or Hindi and said in the language or they can just dub. Not knowing a language has not stopped people from moving between film industries IMO.
