As Telugu films have grown in popularity across India, many Bollywood stars have expressed an interest in working in big Tollywood. Bollywood actresses such as Mrunal Thakur and Alia Bhatt made successful Telugu cinema main debuts, captivating audiences with their performances.
However, Janhvi Kapoor’s much-anticipated debut in Devara did not have the same impact. Janhvi, the daughter of legendary actress Sridevi, naturally grabbed attention with her entry into Telugu cinema.
In Devara, she played Thangam, a simple village girl and love interest to NTR’s character. Despite the film’s huge scale and her pairing with a star like NTR, Janhvi’s role lacked depth, and her performance failed to stand out, leaving audiences disappointed.
While her debut might not have been ideal, fans are hopeful that Janhvi will have a better opportunity in Devara Part 2 or her upcoming film with Ram Charan. For now, her Telugu debut has been seen as a missed opportunity.
