Addressing the press during the song launch for her upcoming film Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, Janhvi Kapoor revealed that she dislocated both her shoulders while practicing cricket for the film.
Speaking to the media present at the launch of the song 'Dekha Tenu', Janhvi Kapoor spoke about her preparation for the film, especially her cricketing perfection. She said, “There was a lot of effort behind this film. I've been preparing it for about two years.'' When I started taking cricket lessons, I was probably filming “Mili'' or “Good Luck Jerry.'' Ta. Our manager was a purist and wanted me to be a cricketer. He didn't want to cheat. He didn't want to use VFX to cover it up or be a half-hearted effort. โ
She also said, “I had quite a few injuries too. Both my shoulders were dislocated. But it was because of the hard work of our director and my coaches Abhishek Nayyar and Vikrant. I used to feel like giving up and giving up on my body, but they kept me going. Every time I see Sharan Sharma's vision and passion, I feel angry and frustrated. But at the end of the day, we got here.โ
“Mr. and Mrs. Mahi” will be released in theaters on May 31st. Directed by Sharan Sharma and starring Rajkummar Rao.
