Ram Gopal Varma, one of the most famous filmmakers in India, known for his bold and often controversy-ridden filmmaking style, has always been a vocal admirer of the legendary Sridevi. In several interviews, he has revealed that his deep respect for the iconic actress was one of the reasons that led him into the film industry. No one has inspired him more than Sridevi, and this love led to a string of collaborations with her in films. When Sridevi passed away, Varma’s emotional tributes to her touched the hearts of many fans and industry stalwarts.
Following in the legacy of Sridevi, her daughter, Janhvi Kapoor, entered the film world. Though Janhvi has done well for herself in Bollywood, her career did not get off to a smooth start with little success. But in the case of Telugu movie Devara with NTR, her role will surely be one such game-changing that will guarantee commercial success. Another project from Buchi Babu, which has Janhvi opposite Ram Charan, marks her going further into Tollywood.
Despite all this, Ram Gopal Varma recently declared that he won’t be working with Janhvi. While speaking candidly, Varma said that he still respects Sridevi a lot but has not seen the same spark in Janhvi. He underlined that no one can replace Sridevi and her legendary status in Indian cinema, and that he definitely doesn’t see himself working with her again.
Varma is currently working on a new film, which is being widely awaited by the audience. Given his previous track record of creating content-driven films, the excitement about his new film is gaining momentum as people eagerly wait to see him go back to making films that had gained him popularity earlier.
