Jr. NTR’s Devara, helmed by Koratala Siva, is perhaps one of the most anticipated films of 2024. The film features an ensemble cast including Saif Ali Khan, Shine Tom Chacko, Prakash Raj, Narain and many more, and also marks the Telugu film debut of Janhvi Kapoor.
Recently, the actress made an appearance, along with her sister Khushi Kapoor, on Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee with Karan, where she spoke about her experience on the sets of Devara. Janhvi mentioned that everything she had done until then felt like a workshop, getting ready for this.
Janhvi Kapoor says Devara helped her transform
Speaking about her experience on the sets, Janhvi Kapoor mentioned that being on the sets of Devara helped her understand who she was. She mentioned that for the first couple of years of her career, she felt lost, like a “headless chicken”, but all she knew was that she loved her work.
She further expressed her desire to work on more such films. The actress said: “So I feel like when I came on to this set, I felt like ‘Okay, this is who I am’. And this is who I am. And all of that knowledge and all of those experiences have prepared me for this moment. I value all those films and experiences so much. But I feel like this is my calling and I feel better about myself and what I am hopefully going to do from now on.”
