Rajkummar
Rao
is
all
praises
for
his
co-star
Janhvi
Kapoor,
with
whom
he
will
be
collaborating
in
the
horror
comedy,
Rooh-Afza.
The
film
will
be
directed
by
Hardik
Mehta
and
co-produced
by
Dinesh
Vijan
and
Mrighdeep
Sing
Lamba.
The
shooting
for
the
horror-comedy
is
currently
underway
in
Agra
after
the
crew
completed
their
Manali
schedule.
Talking
about
his
experience
of
working
with
the
young
actor,
Rajkummar
said
in
a
statement,
"Janhvi
is
phenomenal.
She
is
such
a
sincere
and
hardworking
actor.
I
think
what
we
have
seen
her
in
'Dhadak'
is
just
a
hint
of
her
talent,
she
is
way
more
talented
than
that."
The
film
revolves
around
a
singing
ghost
who
puts
grooms
to
sleep
so
it
can
possess
their
brides.
Every
time
there
is
a
wedding
in
town,
local
women
come
together
to
keep
the
groom
awake
through
the
first
night
in
a
bid
to
avoid
the
wrath
of
the
ghost.
Janhvi
will
be
seen
playing
two
poles
apart
characters,
Roohi
and
Afsana.
Speaking
of
casting
Janhvi
in
Rooh-Afza,
Vijay
had
said
in
a
statement,
"For
the
female
lead,
we
needed
someone
who
could
portray
two
contrasting
personalities
with
ease
and
Janhvi
stood
out,
she
really
connected
with
the
script.
Her
talent
is
still
raw,
but
she
is
excited
about
being
moulded.
The
script
is
young,
refreshing
and
totally
crazy,
and
she
is
exactly
that."
"She
needed
to
oscillate
between
two
characters
which
are
poles
apart.
You
will
fall
in
love
with
her
in
one
scene
and
won't
believe
she
is
the
same
girl
in
the
next
one.
It's
not
an
easy
switch
for
an
actor.
It's
the
perfect
casting."
Also
starring
Varun
Sharma
of
Fukrey
fame,
Rooh-Afza
is
scheduled
to
be
released
in
March
2020.
