Boney Kapoor Confirms Janhvi Kapoor Leading Chaalbaaz Remake, Following Mother Sridevi’s Legacy

Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor has confirmed that his daughter Janhvi Kapoor will star in the remake of the classic 1989 film “Chaalbaaz.” The original movie featured Janhvi’s late mother, legendary actress Sridevi, in an unforgettable double role.

The film was initially announced in 2021 with Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role, but now Janhvi has taken over the project. Boney Kapoor revealed that four producers are backing Janhvi for the Chaalbaaz remake, showing strong industry support for the project.

Interestingly, Boney Kapoor once wanted Deepika Padukone to lead the project before considering his own daughter. However, the decision to cast Janhvi seems perfect given her personal connection to the original film.

For Janhvi, Chaalbaaz is more than just a film – it’s an emotion. The actress understands the importance of stepping into her mother’s iconic role and is approaching the project with great care and respect.

The original “Chaalbaaz” was a huge hit where Sridevi played twin sisters separated at birth. The remake promises to bring this beloved story to a new generation while honoring the legacy of one of Bollywood’s greatest actresses.

Fans are excited to see Janhvi carry forward her mother’s cinematic legacy in this much-anticipated remake.
