The source added, "Janhvi has been getting mainly central roles after 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl' and she's enjoying every bit of her career. Recently, she has been offered more films whose makers she's in talks with."
The yet-untitled film will be Janhvi's immediate next post the global pandemic. Siddharth Sengupta who has previously worked as an AD in films like Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008), Agneepath (2012), and Heartless (2014) will direct the film. While Siddharth has earlier co-directed a mini-series called The Great Escape with the other two directors in 2016, this Janhvi Kapoor film will be his full-fledged directorial debut. Laal Rang, LoveShhuda, and Baaraat Company fame Pankaj Matta has adapted the screenplay to suit the sensibilities of the Hindi film audiences.
