Jhanvi Kapoor[/caption]MUMBAI - The rumors are apparently true. Sridevi’s eldest daughter Jhanvi Kapoor is aiming for the stars and will be launched in Bollywood by filmmaker Karan Johar, reports DNA. The film in question is reportedly the Hindi remake of Marathi hit “Sairat” but while Jhanvi’s father Boney Kapoor confirmed that Karan is to handle her debut, he wasn’t sure if it would be the “Sairat” remake. Jhanvi, 19, is the eldest child of Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor’s two daughters and is an object of great interest for both the film industry and social media.
DNA quotes Boney Kapoor as saying, “Yes, Karan has been talking to us about a film for Jhanvi and we’ve given consent. But we don’t know which project it would be. Since Karan has recently acquired the remake rights of ‘Sairat’ it is being presumed that our daughter would be launched in this project.”
He also said that star kids have it tough because they are always compared to their famous parents but that Jhanvi has inherited Sridevi’s “focus and concentration.”
In September 2015, Sridevi dismissed rumors that Jhanvi was to debut opposite Mammootty’s son Dulquer Salmaan in a Malayalam film. “She (Jhanvi) has just completed graduation. Her focus should be on education now. Contrary to reports, she hasn’t signed any film yet. She’s young and it’s too early for her to think about acting,” Sridevi told news agency IANS. - Agencies
