Janhvi Kapoor Janhvi is making her debut in Telugu cinema with Devara Part 1, alongside Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan. The film has been receiving a lot of attention ever since it was announced. At the trailer launch today, Janhvi said that she would love to work with Jr NTR aka Tarak in all his films. The film is set to release on September 27.
Janhvi Kapoor says working in Devara is ‘ghar wapsi’ and is subject to ridicule
Janhvi, dressed in a golden sari, said at the event, “It’s your first film, honestly, it’s your first Telugu film. It’s very, very, very special. Thank you so much for coming with such enthusiasm. I also want to do all the films with Tarak. I had a lot of fun. I learnt a lot and everyone knows that I have always been a big fan of his and I think I have become even more of a fan of him after working with him.”
However, one particular part of this sweet sentiment caught the attention of netizens, who found it problematic. The problem was that Janhvi Kapoor referred to working in Cattle as a “ghar wapsi” (in this context, homecoming), even though her mother, Sridevi, worked primarily in Tamil cinema, not Telugu.
The video soon sparked reactions from netizens on Reddit, with one saying: “Doesn’t Ghar Wapsi have some negative connotations?”
One user joked: “It’s her debut and Ghar waapsi at the same time.”
Another mused: “Sridevi has acted in around 90 Telugu films and still has cousins in Tirupati. Maybe she is using that excitement to promote herself.”
About Janhvi Kapoor in Jr NTR, Devara trailer
The makers of the upcoming film “Devara-Part 1” on Tuesday unveiled the trailer of the film, which is all about bloodshed, fights and a bit of romance. The over two-minute trailer showcases an epic fight between the man of the masses and Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan.
The trailer begins with a narration and the line “Bahut lambi kahaani hai. Khoon se samundar ko laal kardene waali kahaani”, suggests that the film will have a lot of bloodshed. With electrifying action sequences and an emotional backstory, the film will see Jr NTR in dual roles as a father and son.
In a story that showcases two generations, NTR Jr plays the role of Devara, a saviour, while Saif essays shades of grey. Janhvi Kapoor, who is making her debut in Telugu films with Kortala Siva’s film, plays the role of the Telugu superstar’s love interest. However, their romance was not shown in the trailer.
