"Janhvi a sincere and hardworking actor", says Rajkummar Rao

Rajkummar Rao is impressed by the professionalism and hard work of newcomer Janhvi Kapoor, who is sharing screen space with him in "Rooh-Afza".Shooting on the horror comedy is currently underway in Agra after the crew completed their Manali schedule.

The Hardik Mehta-directed film marks maiden collaboration between Rajkummar and Janhvi.  Talking about his experience of working with the young actor, Rajkummar said in a statement, "Janhvi is phenomenal. She is such a sincere and hardworking actor. I think what we have seen her in 'Dhadak' is just a hint of her talent, she is way more talented than that."

Co-produced by Dinesh Vijan and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, the film revolves around a singing ghost who puts grooms to sleep so it can possess their brides. Also starring Varun Sharma of "Fukrey" fame, "Rooh-Afza" is scheduled to be released in March 2020. 

According to reports, Janhvi plays a double role in the movie, something her late mother, legendary actress Sridevi was known for. 'RoohiAfza' hits the screens on March 20, 2020.

After Shraddha Kapoor in ‘Stree’ and Kangana Ranaut in ‘Mental Hai Kya’, fans would hope Rajkummar’s pairing with Jahnvi has something fresh to offer too. The actor is also the lead in another Dinesh Vijan production, ‘Made in China.’ 

Meanwhile, Janhvi, who tasted success with her debut ‘Dhadak’, is shooting for the Karan Johar production on Kargil hero Gunjan Saxena. She will also soon begin the shoot of KJo’s multi-starrer ‘Takht’ as well.
