The second poster shows her with her left hand placed on her head. Both images highlight a strong, confident look that has quickly caught public attention. Announcing her character, the film’s team posted a message on X that read, “Our #Peddi’s love with a firebrand attitude. Presenting the gorgeous #JanhviKapoor as #Achiyyamma. #Peddi global release on March 27th, 2026 (sic).”

From Bawaal to Sunny Sanskari Ki…: Janhvi & Varun shift gears
Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan are among the most sorted actors of the current generation. They won hearts with their chemistry in the romance drama Bawaal. They are reuniting on the big screen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, and we cannot keep calm, as they look so much fun in the trailer. Here are a few reasons why we anticipate watching this dynamic duo in an easy-going entertainer.
One of the biggest reasons is that fans will see a fresh dynamic between the actors. Bawaal was an intense drama, and this is a light-hearted family entertainer. Varun is more adept in the comedy space, and any actress paired with him in a comedy film is always fun to watch. Thus, we will get to see a fresh dynamic between the duo.
Janhvi Kapoor shines as one of the most versatile talents of her generation, unafraid to experiment with roles. Paired with Varun Dhawan, known for his effortless charm and perfect comic timing, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is a refreshing family entertainer that highlights their combined star power.
With just one outing, the two had already created buzz about their compatibility. Their reunion strengthens that impression, positioning them as one of the most exciting new-age pairings in Bollywood.
Together, Janhvi and Varun are carving out a space as a screen couple who can shift gears seamlessly, making their reunion more than just another casting choice.
The story follows two former lovers in Delhi who attempt to rekindle their old romance, only to get caught up in a series of amusing mix-ups and clever deceptions. As the chaos deepens, an unexpected new love story emerges, leaving everyone wondering who will truly find their happy ending.

Janhvi Kapoor: Don’t know if industry has opened up to the actor in me
Actor Janhvi Kapoor, who is all set for her upcoming theatrical release ‘Ulajh,’ has been extensively promoting her film as she believes this is one of her finest performances to date. Janhvi’s last release, Mr and Mrs Mahi, didn’t clock in huge numbers but Kapoor’s performance and hard work didn’t go unnoticed. During the promotions of her film, Janhvi shared her take on whether the industry has opened up to the actor in her, looking beyond her vanity.
Speaking to IndiaToday.in, Janhvi said, “I don’t know whether the industry has actually opened up to the actor in me yet. Even if they have, it’s something that I’m probably not specifically thinking about as such, because acting is what I wanted to all my life. I feel I have evolved from my first film to now, but how the industry takes me is something I can’t tell for myself.”
“It would have been predictable and a much easier journey if I had done commercial movies with a wider reach that has the song, dance and glamour, because that would have come easily to me and has a higher guaranteed success rate and ensures more popularity. But I made a conscious decision a couple of years ago to challenge myself and surprise myself and try something different even though the risks and stakes are much higher,” the actor added.
Janhvi opened up about picking the ‘smaller films’ and stated, “So, yes, I do feel that I have picked a couple of high-risk films and ‘Ulajh’ is one of them. I sometimes make jokes about Insta Janhvi vs actor Janhvi. Honestly, I’m a little unaware of how the industry sees me, but all I can attest for myself is that with every film, I get more confident on another set because I feel that I can deliver what my director wants out of me.”
Janhvi concluded by saying, “I am scared to try to become aware of what the outside narrative or perception is about me. I think that kind of awareness kills an artist, because it will start making me calculate things that I’m not meant to calculate in any case. It will either make me supremely confident or completely shatter my ego and both of these things will be very disruptive for me.” Source: India Today -

In a sneak peek into the episode, Janhvi Kapoor delves into her experiences with dating actors, revealing the chaotic nature of relationships within the industry. Host Karan Johar prompts Janhvi to share her perspective on navigating relationships with fellow actors, to which she candidly responds, “It is chaotic for sure. Vanity is such a big part of this profession. I am extremely vain; this profession is where you need to be obsessed with yourself at all times. It consumes you.” Highlighting the challenges of dating actors, Janhvi emphasizes the competitive and peculiar dynamics that often arise in such relationships. She acknowledges the importance of being with someone comfortable enough to let you have your moments but expresses reservations about the inherent tension that comes with dating actors. Janhvi shares, “But I find with actors, they get very competitive and very weird.” When Karan queries if she would consider dating an actor given her current comfort level, Janhvi candidly admits that the tension in such relationships is something she finds challenging to handle, specifically within the demanding realm of the film industry.

‘It really hurts’, says Janhvi on being called ‘nepotism ki bachchi’
Janhvi Kapoor, who is basking in the success of her last two films (GoodLuck Jerry and Mili) that were released in 2022, opened up about dealing with criticism. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, the actress revealed that it’s “hurtful” when anonymous people on the Internet call her “nepotism ki bacchi? (nepo-baby)”.
Janhvi is the daughter of the late veteran actress Sridevi and film producer Boney Kapoor. Also, she is the sister of Arjun Kapoor. “No matter what you do, somebody will find faults or have something to say, because that makes them feel important. Next thing you know, you’ve made the headlines…and unfortunately, people feed off of that,” Janhvi told Harper’s Bazaar. Revealing how she deals with criticism, Janhvi Kapoor added, “I’m extremely thankful that I’ve gotten to a point where I can laugh it off. I know my strengths and weaknesses… I’m objective enough to know when I’ve done a good job, and when I haven’t. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I also know when I have made some headway, and have given something my all. And through my last two films, I think, I’ve at least established that I have something to offer as an actor.”
