Janhvi Kapoor begins work on Gunjan Saxena biopic

After winning millions of hearts with her debut performance in Shashank Khaitan’s critically and commercially successful film Dhadak (2018), newcomer Janhvi Kapoor has now started work on her second Bollywood offering.

In her second film, which is still untitled, Kapoor plays Gunjan Saxena, the first female IAF pilot who went all out to evacuate hundreds of injured soldiers from the Kargil war in 1999. Gunjan and her fellow lieutenant Srividya Rajan put their lives at stake and managed to save the lives of many wounded soldiers.


Earlier today, an image set the internet on fire. In the image, Janhvi is seen wearing a pair of IAF dungarees in blue. Her hair is slicked back in a tight bun with minimal make-up put on the face. Her look as Gunjan Saxena has gone viral and has certainly piqued our interest in the forthcoming film.

Just like Dhadak, this untitled project is also being bankrolled by Dharma Productions. Janhvi Kapoor’s third film Takht is also being made under the banner of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
