Janhvi Kapoor’s digital debut too premature?

Janhvi Kapoor made her digital debut in the newly released ‘Ghost Stories’ on Netflix, helmed by the ‘Lust Stories’ team – Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee. However, some critics have said it’s not the right time for the young actress to enter the digital realm.

Reported by AsianAge, it’s been said that Kapoor was tempted by this role because it would allow her to be directed by Akhtar. Critics think Kapoor looks lost among the other actors who have a better understanding of the digital platform. A prominent filmmaker who wanted to remain anonymous, felt it was a disservice to the 22-year old, “She is not Radhika Apte. Doing a web series at this stage in her career is damaging to Janhvi’s brand equity. After her debut in Dhadak, fans want to see her on the big screen, and they will do so in Kargil Girl and Roohi Afza. In both big-screen projects, she plays the title role. What was the need to put her in a web series right after her first release?”

On the film front, we know Kapoor will be next seen in the self-titled ‘Gujan Saxena’ biopic and thereafter ‘Roohi Afzana’. It was also recently announced she will be starring in ‘Dostana 2’.
