Jahnvi Kapoor, who will next be seen in Good Luck Jerry, has claimed that because everyone in her family is so busy with their jobs, the only time they have to spend together is when they are both working on the same project. Boney Kapoor, Janhvi’s father, is a filmmaker; Arjun Kapoor, a half-brother, is an actor; and Khushi Kapoor, the younger sister, is developing her feature debut. Janhvi made a joke about wanting a movie where everyone can work together because she hasn’t been able to spend time with any of them owing to their hectic schedules.

Janhvi made the remark as she reflected on how working on Mili had been the most time she had managed to spend time with her father Boney. In the Boney Kapoor-produced survival thriller, Janhvi plays a trapped victim fighting for her life in a freezer. She provided an unexpected response when asked if there was a possibility that she may collaborate with Arjun Kapoor as well.

In his words to Pinkvilla, “So, I hope. Really, I hope it is. The problem is that, in my opinion, our excessive work schedules prevent us from spending as much time together as a family as I would like. Touchwood. Additionally, I believe that Papa and I spent the most time together when filming Mili since we were both working creatively on a project. Therefore, I believe that the best way to get the family together right now is to just make a movie and cast the entire family.” She said, laughing, “Due to the fact that it involves the entire family, we may have to refer to it as nepotism. But yes, I’d love to work on a movie with him.”

Jahnvi, the eldest child of the late actor Sridevi, also has a number of other relatives who work in the movie business. Her relatives Sonam and Harsh Vardhan Kapoor are her uncles, while Anil and Sanjay Kapoor are her brothers. Shanaya Kapoor, her cousin and Sanjay’s daughter, will also make her Bollywood debut in 2019.

On July 29, Good Luck Jerry, the next movie starring Janhvi, will be available on Disney+ Hotstar. It is a remake of the Nayanthara and Yogi Babu-starring 2018 Tamil film Kolamaavu Kokila.
