Interestingly, Janhvi's upcoming film, Good Luck Jerry is an official adaptation of Nayanthara's 2018 black comedy, Kolamaavu Kokila which was helmed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Besides this, the actress is also playing the titular role in Mili, which is an official remake of the Malayalam hit, Helen.

In the same interview, Janhvi also opined on the North Vs South debate which has taken the film industries of the country by a storm. The actress said that she doesn't get this discussion as everyone is making films for one country i.e India.

She further added that if people come together after breaking through the language barriers and segregation, the level of content will benefit immensely.

Besides Good Luck Jerry and Mili, Janhvi Kapoor is also reuniting with her 'Roohi' co-star Rajkummar Rao for Sharan Sharma's Mr & Mrs Mahi. She is also paired opposite Varun Dhawan in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming directorial, Bawaal.
