Janhvi Kapoor is carefully charting her next move after the release of Peddi. Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that the actress is in advanced discussions for a high-concept creature horror film. The project will mark a significant move from her previous work and could see her explore an entirely new genre space.
According to sources, filmmaker Rahi Anil Barve, best known for directing the cult horror-fantasy Tumbbad, is set to helm the film. The film is being developed as a large-scale creature horror and will be backed by Jio Studios.
A source shares, "Janhvi Kapoor is currently reading scripts and discussing potential projects for her next feature film. She has shown keen interest in the creature horror film to be directed by Rahi Anil Barve. The prep work is already underway, and the makers are hoping to begin production later this year."
The source further adds, "It’s a never-done-before role for Janhvi and one that demands extensive preparation. She is expected to sign the dotted lines soon. Once the paperwork is completed, the actress will undergo intensive acting workshops to get into the skin of the character and understand the nuances of the world being created."
Given Barve’s acclaimed work in Tumbbad, expectations are already high. If everything falls into place, the film is expected to go on floors later this year, marking an exciting new chapter in Janhvi Kapoor’s filmography.
