Janhvi Kapoor signs her third film with Dharma Productions

After the rapturous success of her debut film Dhadak, which also starred Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor has become one of the most sought-after newcomers in Bollywood.

However, the actress does not seem to be in any hurry to sign one project after another. After Dhadak, Janhvi signed Dharma Productions’ next Takht. To be directed by Karan Johar, the multi-starrer also stars Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Vicky Kaushal.


The latest we hear about Sridevi’s elder daughter is that she has been signed on for another movie with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

The film will be a biopic on the first woman IAF pilot, Gunjan Saxena. Gunjan evacuated injured soldiers from Kargil in 1999 with the help of fellow lieutenant Srividya Rajan.

The project is yet to be announced officially, though some media outlets report that Janhvi has met Gunjan Saxena as part of her preparations for the untitled movie.
