Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, who is preparing for the release of her upcoming Telugu film 'Peddi', believes that filmmaking is ultimately an act of service for audiences. She stated that while people may be quick to judge, their opinions are important as they help artists improve their craft and create better work.
In an interview with IANS, the actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2018 with 'Dhadak', addressed the culture of social media users writing obituaries for films without watching them. She asserted that if a film is made with honesty and good intentions, it will reach the right audience.
Janhvi said, "I think if a film is made with honesty and hard work and a good intention, then it reaches the people that it has to. And I know that people are quick to judge. But at the end of the day, it's an act of service, right?"
She added, "We're making films to reach the audiences, to entertain them. So you can't completely disregard what they're feeling or what they're saying. I mean, I think the audience is God and we're only catering and trying to serve them."
The 29-year-old actress welcomes all opinions. "So, I mean, all their opinions are welcome. And if it results in us making better work and doing better work, then we'll take all of it," she concluded.
Regarding 'Peddi', the film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and features an ensemble cast including Boman Irani, Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu. It is set to release on June 4.
On the Bollywood front, she was last seen in 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' by Shashank Khaitan, which also stars Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul, and Akshay Oberoi.
