What Boney Kapoor said?
Boney said, “My daughter has already shot for a film with Jr NTR. She’s loving every bit of the day she spends on sets here. Soon, she will start a film with Ram Charan too. These two boys are doing very well. She has been watching a lot of Telugu films, and she feels blessed to work with them. Hopefully, the films will work, and she will get more work. She will also act with Suriya soon. My wife (Sridevi) acted in multiple languages, I hope my daughter does the same.”

Suriya had shifted to Mumbai a few years back and his wife actor Jyotika also started her second innings in Hindi cinema.

Suriya is busy currently busy with his magnum opus Kanguva and his next project with Sudha Kongara. Karna is likely to go on floors towards the end of 2024.
Janhvi will be seen next in Devara with Jr NTR. Saif Ali Khan plays the antagonist in the movie. It will release in October this year after an eight-month delay was recently announced.
