Janhvi Kapoor is all set for the release of her upcoming film 'Mr and Mrs Mahi' which also stars Rajkummar Rao alongside the actress and is directed by Sharan Sharma. The film is set to hit the big screens on May 31 and has already generated a lot of buzz among the audience.

As the trailer's film showcases, the story follows a couple who discover their common love for cricket after the marriage. As both the actors are currently busy promoting the film, Janhvi recently talked about her preparation for the role and how she would train for hours.

She said, "I wasn't very radiant while shooting for this film. When I started preparing for this film, I was promoting 'Good Luck Jerry'. I was possibly shooting for 'Mili' and I was about 8-9 kilos heavier. Sharan was very stressed and told me that I didn't look like a cricketer. He said if I really wanted to do this film, I needed to start losing weight and begin cricket training."

She further added, "My daily routine was very intense. I was at the peak of my training, and my coach, Abhishek Nair, said that the training I was undergoing was more intense as what they did with their IPL players."

"I used to wake up in the morning and practice in the nets with the KKR players, who he had recruited. We would practice there for 2 hours. Then I would go to Bandra for strength training, conditioning, and cardio, which took about an hour. After that, I would attend meetings. If there was a shoot, I would go for the shoot, and after wrapping up, I would practice for another 2 hours at a ground in Bandra. So yeah, it was almost 5-6 hours of physical training every day. I was following a very low-carb diet and shooting simultaneously for other projects."

She concluded,  "My other directors and producers were getting very upset because I kept losing weight. I remember going to one schedule of the 'Bawaal' set, and Nitesh sir looked at me and said, 'You've become so thin.' I was also shooting for 'Devara' for two days, and everyone remarked that I didn't look as glowing as I used to and that I looked tired. This was all during the course of this film, and I think it went on for a while. But now, I'm starting to feel like myself again, and of course, each of these challenges will take me through a longer process. “

Earlier, the director of the film, Sharan also shared an Instagram post mentioning about the transformation of the actress from a non-cricketer to a cricketer and narrating how tough it has been for her to master the same.
