Janhvi Kapoor showers praises on Roohi Afzana co-star Rajkummar Rao

Starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, Roohi Afzana is one of the most-awaited movies of 2020. The film, produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films, is a horror-comedy set in a small-town of Uttar Pradesh. While Rajkummar Rao has previously starred in a successful horror-comedy called Stree (2018), Janhvi Kapoor is attempting the genre for the first time, though so early in her career.

While Roohi Afzana is still a few months away from its theatrical release, it has already started creating excitement among the audience. People are really looking forward to seeing Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor together and that too in a horror-comedy. Recently, the makers dropped a still from the film, which received great response from the audience.


Janhvi Kapoor, who is just one film old, is psyched up about working with the National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao. Showering praises on her co-star, the actress said in a recent interview that he is extremely giving and loves every aspect of filmmaking.

“He is a very giving actor. He loves every aspect of filmmaking and it really shows in his performance,” said the newcomer who joined the Hindi film industry with Dharma Productions’ tragic tale of love, Dhadak (2018).

Kapoor, who is the daughter of late veteran actress Sridevi, plays a double role in Roohi Afzana. Talking about the same, she said, “Not many actors get a chance to play a character loaded with duality so early on in their career.”

A couple of days ago, Rajkummar Rao had also praised Janhvi for being extremely talented and very hardworking.

Directed by Hardik Mehta, Roohi Afzana also features Varun Sharma in an important role. The movie is scheduled for release on 5th June 2020.

HBO criticised for sidelining South Asian identity in 'Harry Potter' casting controversy

HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot is already under fire, this time for casting Italian actress Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, a character rooted in Indian culture. The announcement has triggered widespread backlash from fans who accuse the makers of side-lining authentic South Asian representation in favour of what many see as surface-level diversity.

Parvati, originally portrayed by Shefali Chowdhury in the films, is one of the few explicitly Indian characters in the Harry Potter universe. The decision to cast someone with no clear Indian heritage has led to heated discussions across platforms like Reddit and X, with fans calling out what they perceive as performative inclusivity.
