Actress Janhvi Kapoor on Thursday won the internet with her fusion dance to the song Dekhha Tenu from her upcoming film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi co-starring Rajkummar Rao.
“Dekha tenu. Hits me right in the feels. #MrandMrsMahi in theatres on the 31st of May,” the 27-year-old actress wrote on Instagram alongside the video that shows her dancing in a mauve anarkali.
In the video, the Dhadak actress looks gorgeous in a backless anarkali embellished with floral motifs and featuring a scoop neck. Smokey eyes, dewy makeup and statement earrings completed her look. Janhvi’s steps synced perfectly with the song.
Released on Wednesday, Dekhha Tenu is inspired by the Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham song Shava Shava, originally sung by Udit Narayan. The new version is sung by Mohammad Faiz and is composed by Jaani.
In Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, Rajkummar Rao’s failed cricketer Mahendra turns coach for his wife Mahima, played by Janhvi, with an aim to make the latter represent Team India. But when Mahima, a doctor, realises that Mahendra is training her to realise his own worth, their relationship takes a rocky turn.
Mr. & Mrs. Mahi marks Rajkummar and Janhvi’s second collaboration after the 2021 Hardik Mehta-directed horror comedy Roohi. It is also the second time Janhvi will be teaming up with filmmaker Sharan Sharma, who made his directorial debut with the actress’ 2020 film Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.
The film is Rajkummar’s second release this month after the May 10 release of the biopic Srikanth, based on the visually impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla. Janhvi, on the other hand, will be seen in the lead role in the upcoming spy thriller Ulajh and is set to make her Telugu debut in Devara: Part 1 alongside NTR Jr.
Backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is slated to release in theatres on May 31.
