Janhvi Kapoor Says She Has Delivered More Misses Than Hits At BO Because She Chose 'High-risk Films'

Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for the release of her film Ulajh. The thriller flick is scheduled to hit the big screens on August 2 and also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew. Ulajh will mark Janhvi's second release of the year following Mr and Mrs Mahi also featuring Rajkummar Rao. In a new interview, the actress who made her debut with Dhadak (2018), spoke about her choices of films and how she has deliberately steered clear of commercial films.

Janhvi Kapoor talks about not choosing to star in commercial films

In a recent interview, Janhvi Kapoor stated that she always had an easier option of starring in commercial films. The actress noted that she has deliberately steered clear of films that would be a ‘guaranteed' hit. The actress has featured in several theatrical and OTT movies, only some of which have been able to impress the audience.

In an interview with Mashable India, Janhvi shared, “Main bohot hi asaan journey chun sakti thi. Main iss film ki jagah ya mere pichle kuch filmon ki jagah, main badi commercial films kar sakti thi jahan glamour hota, bohot asaani se reach milta, popularity ho jaata, box office ka number guaranteed hota. Voh bohot asaan journey hai. Usme success rate almost guaranteed hai. Isme bohot risk hai (I could have chosen a very easy journey. Instead of the projects I’ve done, I could’ve done a big commercial film with a glamourous role, easy reach, guaranteed popularity and box office numbers).”

Janhvi Kapoor admits delivering more flop than hit films

Janhvi starred in films like Mr and Mrs Mahi, Gunjan Saxena and Bawaal which did not perform as expected. Talking about the same, Janvi told the publication, “So I know it’s a longer game, it’s a tougher game. I know that realistically if we’re looking at the box office, there have been more misses than hits because of the nature of the high-risk films I’ve chosen. But I feel that my growth as an artist has been more gratifying than it would’ve been had I picked the easier route.”

Janhvi Kapoor has several films in her pipeline. The actress will be seen next in her Tollywood debut - Devara: Part 1. She also has  Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari in her kitty, opposite Varun Dhawan.
