Janhvi Kapoor to dive into digital world

Janhvi Kapoor has become one of the most sought-after actresses in Bollywood despite the fact that she has done only one film so far. The daughter of veteran actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor, Janhvi made her acting debut with Dharma Productions’ Dhadak (2018) alongside Ishaan Khatter. The movie turned out to be a big hit at the box-office, helping the newcomer bag several other films as well as a few high-profile brand endorsements.

The latest we hear that Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up to make her digital debut soon. Buzz has it that she will be seen in a web-series called Ghost Stories. The project is reportedly being handled by ace filmmaker Zoya Akhtar who recently delivered a hit like Gully Boy (2019) with Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh and Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Spilling the beans, a source close to the development tells an entertainment magazine, “It didn’t take too much of convincing and Ghost Stories will mark Janhvi’s debut into the digital world as well. She has also allotted her dates for the same and since it’s a 30-minute short, it will be wrapped up in about ten days of shoot”.

Kapoor, meanwhile, is busy shooting for her upcoming film Roohi-Afza which is a horror-comedy set in a small town of Uttar Pradesh. She will also begin the next schedule of her much-awaited film Kargil Girl soon. The young actress has also been signed up to play a pivotal part in Karan Johar’s ambitious directorial venture Takht. Also starring Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Anil Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles, the period drama is expected to start rolling at the beginning of 2020.

More details on Ghost Stories are expected to arrive soon. An official announcement is also awaited.

Anoushka Shankar has called out Air India after discovering her sitar badly cracked when she opened the case after a recent flight. She posted a video online showing the split running across the lower end of the instrument. The clip raised quick questions about how the airline handled it, especially since she said she paid the handling fee and used the same protective cases she always travels with.

Shankar said it was her first time choosing Air India in years, and that made the discovery harder to accept. She added that the sitar had travelled safely for more than a decade on other carriers without even a peg slipping.
