Janhvi Kapoor continues to expand her presence in cinema, confirming roles in two Hindi films and a Telugu project set for release in 2024. She’s slated to join Tiger Shroff and Varun Dhawan in an upcoming Dharma Productions film, tentatively titled Deadly.
Directed by Raj Mehta, known for Good Newwz and Jug Juggjeeyo, and with a story crafted by Anurag Kashyap, this project promises an exciting collaboration between Tiger Shroff and Janhvi Kapoor. Rumors suggest Varun Dhawan might play the antagonist’s role, adding an intriguing twist to the mix. A tweet hinted at this film initiating the ‘Assassin Cinematic Universe’ in Bollywood, starring Tiger Shroff and Janhvi Kapoor, with talks of Varun Dhawan as the potential villain. Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is set to produce the venture.
There are also talks about Janhvi Kapoor teaming up with Varun Dhawan for Dulhania 3, directed by Shashank Khaitan, following their appearance together in 2023’s Bawaal directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
However, on January 5th, Karan Johar addressed these speculations on Instagram, urging the media not to conjecture about their film franchises until official confirmations are made.
Meanwhile, Kapoor has other projects in her pipeline, including Mr. and Mrs. Mahi with Rajkummar Rao, Ulajh with Gulshan Devaiah, and Devara with Jr. NTR. Dhawan, on the other hand, is set to star in Amar Kaushik’s Bhediya 2, Raj & DK’s Citadel India, and Atlee Kumar’s next production. Tiger Shroff’s next film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, pairs him with Akshay Kumar.
