Pandemic has forced people in cinema to recalibrate, says actor Janhvi Kapoor, who believes mid range movies need more support from producers and audiences. The 27-year-old actor, who features in the upcoming film "Mr & Mrs Mahi", said she craves to play characters that are based on a story. "The shift in the way the audience is consuming cinema post the pandemic has forced us to recalibrate a little bit. It is a good time," Janhvi told PTI in an interview. According to the actor, for mid range films to get their due, they need to be incentivised by producers as not all movies need to be tentpole cinema.
In the romantic sports drama "Mr & Mrs Mahi", she plays the role of Mahima, a doctor, who becomes a cricketer after her husband Mahendra (Rajkummar Rao) spots the cricketing talent in her and encourages her to chase her dream and becomes her coach. Sharan Sharma, who directed Janhvi in "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl`, is also helming this project. "As actors you crave and itch to do films or tell stories like `Mr & Mrs Mahi`, so I hope people lap it up and enjoy it and we get to make more such films," she said. Asked whether she worries about the box office performance of her movies, Jahnvi said every film eventually finds its audience. "Eventually, what`s meant to happen with a film always happens and it might not be what you expect but it will be what a film deserves. Every film has a destiny. Sometimes you don`t get what you hope out of a film.
