Janhvi Kapoor’s film Mili is already hit the theatre. The actress is leaving no stone unturned in promoting the film. However, the Box office collection on opening days is not that impressive. In a recent interview, Janhvi opens up on how the role she played onscreen affected the brand's endorsement. The actress is Jolly in real life but she chose a film with intense and serious characters which affect her endorsement.
The actress said, “I have been told things like these. ‘The kind of films that you are doing is of a certain beat and your social media presence is quite a contradiction. It will make people harder to buy as those characters if they keep seeing you in this get-up’. I am trying to protect myself from being calculative like that. It might throw people off to see me in a Manish Malhotra saree and then in a kurta in a film.
She further added, “ But that is my job, my art. I feel very deeply about it and I want to be as real and authentic about it as possible. But I’m not that person in real life. That’s the point of being an actor. I don’t want to take it so seriously. My social media is for me to have fun. Hopefully, if I look cute and five extra people like my pictures, I’ll get another brand and I’ll be able to pay for my EMIs with more ease than I was before.”
Speaking about Mili, The film is directed by Mathukutty Xavier, Mili is the Hindi remake of the filmmaker's 2019 Malayalam hit Helen. Said to be based on true events, the film traces the struggles of Janhvi as Mili, who races against time to stay alive inside a freezer. According to the actor, a special freezer was built by the film’s team, where they shot for 20 days at minus 15 degrees Celsius temperature.
