Ananya Panday praises Janhvi Kapoor for Jr. NTR-starrer Devara: Part 1 amid criticism; says 'People believe commercial cinema is easy'

As a seasoned lifestyle expert who has spent years immersing myself in the vibrant world of Indian cinema, I must say that Janhvi Kapoor continues to prove her mettle with each passing project. Her recent foray into Telugu cinema with Devara: Part 1, opposite Jr. NTR, is a testament to her versatility as an actress.


Following the release of films such as Ulajh, Mili, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, and others, Janhvi Kapoor stepped into her first significant Telugu role alongside Jr. NTR in the movie Devara: Part 1. Despite the criticism, Janhvi’s close friend Ananya Panday has commended her performance in Devara: Part 1. Ananya addressed the perception that commercial films are simple.

During a conversation with Hindustan Times, Actress Ananya Panday discussed the challenge young actresses face in Indian films due to the “3 scenes and 3 songs” approach. Ananya commended Janhvi Kapoor for her dedication in the film “Devara: Part 1.

The CTRL star commented that while many perceive commercial cinema to be effortless, it is equally an artistic skill to portray roles in such films. Meanwhile, she expressed admiration for Janhvi’s performance in the Daavudi song from JR. NTR’s film, praising her expressions as exceptional and her energy as extraordinary.

In a concluding statement, the actress from Call Me Bae acknowledged that playing her character was just as challenging. This remark follows fan disapproval regarding the short screen time of Janhvi in Devara: Part 1.

Under the guidance of director Koratala Siva, the first part of the movie titled “Devara” hit the big screens on September 27, 2024. In this film, Jr. NTR portrayed two main characters, Devara and his son, Varadha. Janhvi Kapoor was cast as Thangam, who became Varadha’s love interest. The star-studded cast also included Saif Ali Khan, Zarina Wahab, Prakash Raj, Shruti Marathe, among others.

Janhvi Kapoor debuted in the film industry with Shashank Khaitan’s 2018 release, Dhadak. In this movie, she worked alongside Ishaan Khatter. Over the past six years, Janhvi has proven to be a rising star in Bollywood, and her notable films include Good Luck Jerry, Bawaal, and Roohi.

In the upcoming year, you’ll catch Janhvi Kapoor in director Khaitan’s movie titled “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.” Her co-star from Bawaal, Varun Dhawan, will also feature alongside her in this production. The film is planned to release on the big screen in 2025.

Currently, Ananya Panday is enjoying the triumph of her latest movie, CTRL. This cyber-thriller, directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, also stars Vihaan Samat in a leading role. Last month saw Ananya’s debut on streaming platforms with Karan Johar’s production titled Call Me Bae.
