Janhvi Kapoor in talks for a horror comedy opposite Rajkummar Rao

Janhvi Kapoor, the elder daughter of veteran actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor, impressed everyone with her impactful debut in Karan Johar’s Dhadak (2018), which was an official remake of Marathi blockbuster Sairat (2016).

After tasting success with Dhadak, Janhvi signed Karan Johar’s next directorial venture Takht, which is a multi-starrer, also featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Bhumi Pednekar, Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal and Anil Kapoor in prominent roles.


There are rumours that the newbie will also topline Dharma Productions’ unannounced biopic on IAF pilot Gunjan Saxena. Recently, an image featuring her in IAF uniform went viral on social media, which many thought was a leaked image from her test for the movie.

Now, Janhvi is being linked to yet another project and this time with National Film Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao. According to reports, the actress is in talks to star in a horror comedy which features Rao as the male lead. Since the project is in the initial stage, not much is known about the same at the moment.

Interestingly, Rajkummar Rao has already done a horror comedy in the form of Stree (2018). He is most likely to headline its sequel – Stree 2 – as well. Looks like the actor has developed a strong preference for horror comedies!

From Anupama Parameswaran to Samantha Ruth Prabhu: Why the sexist ‘climber’ label follows women who date successful men

Highlights

  • Successful actresses are often accused of choosing relationships for money or status
  • The ‘gold digger’ and ‘climber’ labels can erase women’s own careers and financial independence
  • Anupama Parameswaran, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Sushmita Sen and Malaika Arora have all faced versions of the same narrative
  • Their responses show how female stars are increasingly refusing to accept the assumption that a relationship must have a financial motive

When a successful woman is linked to a wealthier or more powerful man, the question is often not whether she is happy, in love or making an independent choice. Instead, the conversation quickly turns to what she might gain from the relationship.

That is where the word ‘climber’ becomes revealing. It suggests that a woman is using a relationship to move upwards socially, financially or professionally, reducing a personal choice to a calculated transaction. In Indian celebrity culture, the label often appears alongside accusations of being a ‘gold digger’, particularly when a relationship ends.
