As the daughter of the legendary actress Sridevi, Janhvi Kapoor was always under immense pressure to live up to her mother's legacy. She made her Bollywood debut in 2018 with the film "Dhadak," which was a commercial success. However, her subsequent films, such as "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl" and "Good Luck Jerry," failed to impress the critics or the audience.

In an attempt to revive her career, Janhvi Kapoor has now decided to try her luck in the South Indian film industry. She has signed on for a Telugu film titled "Devara," which is being directed by Koratala Siva. The film stars Jr NTR in the lead role, and Janhvi is playing the role of his girlfriend.

The first look of Janhvi Kapoor from "Devara" was recently released, and it has taken everyone by surprise. In the picture, Janhvi is seen wearing a simple saree and sporting a de-glam look. This is a complete departure from her glamorous image in Bollywood films.

Janhvi Kapoor's makeover for "Devara" has been praised by many fans and critics alike. Some people have even compared her to her mother, Sridevi, who was also known for her versatility and ability to play a variety of roles.

Experts believe that Janhvi Kapoor's role as a village girl in "Devara" could help her establish her foothold in the South Indian film industry. Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Rashmika Mandanna have both achieved great success by playing the roles of innocent rural beauties in films like "Rangasthalam" and "Pushpa," respectively.

It remains to be seen whether Janhvi Kapoor will be able to replicate their success in "Devara." However, the first look of the film has certainly generated a lot of buzz and expectations.
