Janhvi Kapoor Compares Working In 바카라�Devara바카라� To Sridevi바카라�s Early Work In Bollywood: She Kind Of Felt Alien

Janhvi Kapoor is all set to make her Telugu debut with Koratala Siva and Jr NTR바카라�s 바카라�Devara바카라�, and the actress recently shared her experience working in the film. She also revealed that she felt closer to her mother Sridevi while working in the film. 

In an interview with Film Companion, \ recalled working with Jr NTR in 바카라�Devara바카라� and said, 바카라�It바카라�s a lot of fun. I am having a blast. I think I have gotten to a point where, after doing all these films wherein I am dying in a freezer, dislocating my shoulder, or acting with a rat, I realise I am allowing myself to do what comes naturally to me which is like nautanki, dialoguebaazi, dancing, and just having fun. And doing the kind of roles I have grown up enjoying and loving.바카라� She added that she is getting to do it all in the film, and hence, she is going easy on herself and enjoying it.

Interestingly, she also compared her first Telugu film to her mother Sridevi working in the first Hindi film.

Janhvi said, 바카라�While working on Devara, I felt closer to mom. It is quite ironic because when she started doing Hindi films, she didn바카라�t know the language, and they called her a 바카라�parrot바카라�. She would hear the dialogue and repeat it, and she was very good at it. She kind of felt alien in that environment, and I am going to Telugu cinema.바카라� 

The 바카라�Mili바카라� actress added that she does not know the language and is only phonetically familiar with Tamil. Hence, she records her dialogues and her DOP Randy (Rathnavelu) calls her a 바카라�tape recorder바카라�. Janhvi added, 바카라�So, I feel like I now have an understanding of what she did and it feels like home. Even before the film, I think they accepted me with open arms and so much love. Even on the sets, it feels like a big warm hug.바카라� 

Helmed by Koratala Siva, 바카라�Devara: Part 1바카라� features Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor. Saif Ali Khan has been roped in as the antagonist in the film. The film also stars Bhaira, Prakashraj, Srikanth, and Shine Tom Chacko. The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, and it is scheduled to hit the theatres this year.
