When Janhvi Kapoor said she didn’t want to work with Rajkummar Rao after ‘Roohi’: ‘It created great headlines and helped promote the film’ | Bollywood News

“They (the media) are always looking for scandalous headlines. So I thought this statement would be a great headline and would help promote the film. But I also explained why I said I never want to work with him again. He was very Guni An experienced and talented actor. If someone kills me, it’s not your fault. “[While working with him]I realised I was a newbie,” Janhvi explained. Rajkumar was quick to praise his co-star. “Janhvi gave her best performance in ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ and I would love to work with her again,” the ‘Love Sex Aur Dhoka’ actor said.

For the uninitiated, during a light-hearted interaction with host Maniesh Paul at the 69th Filmfare Awards earlier this year, Janhvi playfully responded to a question about her co-stars. When asked about an actor she would hesitate to work with again, she jokingly named Rajkumar. However, she praised her co-star for his exceptional acting skills.

according to Film BeatJanhvi Kapoor said, “I am hesitant to work with Rajkumar Rao again because every time I work with him, I feel inferior as an actor. I am always in awe of his talent and overwhelmed by how much I have to learn from him. Working with him is rewarding as it makes me realise that I still have a lot to achieve and learn.”

Reviewing Mr & Mrs Mahi, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote, “Mr and Mrs Mahi should have properly been called Mrs and Mr Mahi. This women-forward story deserved the title change. But it also says something about the difficulties mainstream Bollywood still faces in foregrounding its feminist agenda. The story may begin with Mahendra (Rajkumar Rao) wanting to play professionally to escape the deathly tedium of helping out in his father’s sports shop, but the film’s heart, like that of its protagonist, only begins to move with the arrival of Mahima (Jhanvi Kapoor).”
