In a video shared by the makers where the cast is interacting with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the Animal director asks Kapoor about her experience of working in a Telugu film. However, Jr NTR interrupted and said that he was shocked when he saw her speak in Telugu. "Ye ladki aayi hai Bombay se, kya pata hoga (She is a girl from Bombay; how much will she know)? Although her roots are in South India, speaking in Telugu is sometimes tough. But she was (snaps his finger to gesture he was impressed with her). There was a scene in which this woman just went all out."
The RRR actor further revealed that when Janhvi Kapoor shot that scene, director Koratala Siva was looking at him. They were shocked at how fabulous she was on screen. Further in this entertainment news, hearing NTR praise her so much, Kapoor said that her day is made and she feels that she can leave the interview without worrying about anything else.
