Whispers in the industry hint at a bold cinematic gamble. Janhvi Kapoor might be circling the lead in a modern-day reimagining of ‘Chaalbaaz’, the cult comedy that once cemented Sridevi’s status as a powerhouse performer. But this isn’t just another casting update – it’s a potential collision of nostalgia and ambition. The project, which previously flirted with Shraddha Kapoor as its face never took off. Now, with Janhvi in the mix, the stakes feel higher. If she accepts, she’ll be stepping into a role that demands not just dual characters, but dual legacies – her own and her mother’s. Industry insiders suggest she’s consulting mentors and confidants as well as being torn between excitement and the looming shadow of inevitable comparisons. Whether this becomes a tribute or a misstep may hinge on a single decision – one she’s expected to make before the end of September.
