Jhanvi Kapoor To Make Her Bollywood Debut With Mom Sridevi

The 1987 film ‘Mr. India’ starred Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Amrish Puri in the lead roles. ‘Mr. India’ was the highest grossing film of that year. Directed by Shekhar Kapur, this movie has been declared one of the 100 Greatest Indian Films of All Time. And now it is heard that this cult classic will have a sequel, ‘Mr. India 2’ and it’ll feature the popular mother-daughter duo Sridevi and Jhanvi Kapoor. However, the veteran actress has not made any official confirmation about it yet.

A source informed, that the sequel of ‘Mr. India’ will be directed by Ravi Udyawar. The filmmaker directed the blockbuster film ‘MOM’ starring Sridevi in the lead role. Now it is said that Jhanvi Kapoor and Sridevi would be sharing screen space. The source was quoted saying as, “There are two pairs of leads in Mr India 2. While Anil Kapoor and Sridevi will reprise the roles that they played in the first film, there will be a new pair. Jhanvi is likely to play the young female lead.”

Now if that turns out to be true, it would be interesting to watch Sridevi and Jhanvi Kapoor together onscreen and it will also be their first film together. Talking about Jhanvi’s debut, the young diva is going to make her Bollywood debut in the remake of the hit Marathi film ‘Sairat’ that would be produced under Dharma Productions banner. Jhanvi would be sharing screen space with Ishaan Khatter in the film. Few days ago it was reported that Sridevi is miffed with Karan Johar for not making official announcement about her daughter’s debut film. However, there’s no confirmation about it.
