Jr NTR recently shared his admiration for Janhvi Kapoor’s performance in their upcoming film Devara: Part 1. During a chat hosted by Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Jr NTR expressed how Janhvi reminded him of her legendary mother, Sridevi. Reflecting on a particular moment from a photoshoot, Jr NTR said Janhvi’s expressions and smiles brought back memories of Sridevi.
“I was shocked when I saw her. Ye ladki aayi hai Bombay se, kya pata hoga. Although her roots are in South India, speaking in Telugu is sometimes tough. But she was amazing,” Jr NTR told Vanga. “There was a scene in which this woman went all out. And Siva was looking at the monitor and he was looking at me for my reaction. She was fabulous. I was shocked,” he added.
Devara’s release is split into two parts, with the first installment set to release on September 27, 2024. The film stars Jr NTR, Janhvi Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, and Prakash Raj.
