Janhvi Kapoor is currently on cloud nine. After all, her recently released Mr & Mrs Mahi, co-starring Rajkummar Rao, has been receiving positive responses from the audiences. The romantic sports drama has minted Rs 23.09 crore in six days at the domestic box office. The film was directed by Sharan Sharma. Sharan and Janhvi previously collaborated for Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.
Expressing her gratitude, Janhvi said in a statement, “Your love has motivated me to keep going and keep working even harder and pushing myself in my craft. Your love is worth everything! Mr & Mrs Mahi is a piece of my heart and for all those who understood and connected with what we were trying to say, thank you.”
In the film, Janhvi Kapoor portrays the role of Mahi, a doctor who shifts to cricket, after her husband, also Mahi (played by Rajkummar Rao) encourages her to chase her dream.
Well, Janhvi Kapoor’s dedication to the role wasn’t just limited to the screens. The actress underwent two years of rigorous training to master the sport. During her training, she suffered several injuries and even dislocated both shoulders.
A few weeks back, Janhvi posted a video of her intense training session which she went through to learn the sport.
Sharing the video, Janhvi penned a long note that read, “The two years of training that went into this film that was such a huge part of my routine and life- that no one saw. Feels weird looking back at myself in all different shapes and sizes and levels of my game but the one thing that stayed with me the most was the courage, motivation, guidance and strength I got from the faith that both my coaches had in me. @abhisheknayar and @vikrant_yeligeti thank you for everything!! And sorry for all the days I was irritating, I know there were a few.”
Mr & Mrs Mahi also marks the second collaboration between Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi. The duo was earlier seen in the horror-comedy flick Roohi.
Janhvi Kapoor will be next seen in the political thriller film Uljah alongside Gulshan Deviah and Roshan Mathew. Apart from that, she also has Devara –Part 1 with Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan.
