Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, whose cricket drama, Mr & Mrs Mahi, hit the screens on Friday, recently appeared on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show. During their fun-filled conversation, when host Kapil Sharma asked Janhvi about her statement regarding her unwillingness to work with Rajkummar again after the horror comedy Roohi, she clarified that she said it in jest and to grab eyeballs.
“They (media) are always looking for a scandalous headline. So I thought the statement would make for a great headline and help promote the film. But I also explained why I said I didn’t want to work with him again. I feel he is a very guni (experienced and talented) actor. Unke saath kaam karke yeh ehsaas hota hai ki hum kitne nausikhya hai (I realised I was a rookie while working with him),” explained Janhvi. Rajkummar wasted no time in complimenting his co-star. “Janhvi has done her best work in Mr & Mrs Mahi. I would love to work with her again,” the Love Sex Aur Dhoka actor said.
For the unversed, in a lighthearted exchange 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 the actor she hesitates to work with again, she jokingly took Rajkummar’s name. However, she praised her co-star’s exceptional acting chops.
According to Filmibeat, Janhvi Kapoor said, “I hesitate to work with Rajkummar Rao again because every time I share a scene with him, I get a complex as an actor. I am constantly in awe of his talent and feel overwhelmed by how much there is to learn from him. I find it challenging to work with him as it makes me realise how much more I have to achieve and learn.”
The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta, in her review of Mr & Mrs Mahi, wrote, “Mr and Mrs Mahi should have been, by all rights, called Mrs and Mr Mahi: this let’s-put-the-woman forward story deserved that switch in the title. But it also tells you something about the difficulties that mainstream Bollywood still faces in putting its feminist intentions right out front. It may have begun with Mahendra (Rajkummar Rao) desperate to break free from the deadly ennui of helping out in his father’s sports shop by playing the game professionally, but this film’s heart, like the hero’s, begins to beat only when Mahima (Janhvi Kapoor) enters the scene.”
