Janhvi also expressed her desire to work with the Arjun Reddy actor in the near future.

Janhvi Kapoor was quoted to reveal, “The status is non-existent, unfortunately. I feel like I have put out a lot of feelers but there is no response. I’m kidding. It’s just admirational. I’m comfortable if the admiration is, I guess one-sided, at this point.”
