After doing films like Uljhan, Mili, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and others, Janhvi Kapoor made a big Telugu debut opposite Jr NTR in the recently released film, Devara: Part 1. Janhvi’s BFF Ananya Panday has now praised her for Jr NTR-starrer Devara: Part 1 amid criticism. Ananya discussed how audiences believe that commercial cinema is easy.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Ananya Panday explained how young actresses in Indian cinema face the “3 scenes and 3 songs” strategy. Ananya defends Janhvi Kapoor by highlighting her hard work in Devara: Part 1.
“People think that doing commercial cinema is very easy, but performing in a certain way is also an art,” the CTRL star said. The 25-year-old actress praised Janhvi, saying that she was amazing in her recent song Daaudi from JR. NTR’s film. He called the latter’s expressions “great” and highlighted that their energy was “excellent”.
