Janhvi Kapoor: South Story

Could Janhvi Kapoor finally have a hit on her hands? And it may well be all because of her Tamilian roots. Her upcoming movie ‘Param Sundari’ looks especially promising. Even though Janhvi plays a Malayali in the film, she makes sure her Punjabi boyfriend, played by Sidharth Malhotra, can tell the difference between a Tamilian and a Malayali. An easy way to check? If Rajinikanth represents Tamilians, Mohanlal is shorthand for Malayalis. Also, Allu Arjun is for Telugu speakers and Yash is for Kannadigas.

Harleen’s Moment

Harleen Sethi is having a moment after Kohrra (2023) and Doctors (2024). Her new triumph is a short film, Entanglement, where a couple tries to recon­struct their past. Harman Singha is Sethi’s co-star. The short, directed by Yashaswini Nath, is well made and suspenseful. It is now available on BookMyShow Stream.
