Is Tollywood Using Janhvi Kapoor Only For Glamour Roles

Janhvi Kapoor’s role in Peddi has started a big debate. Many people feel the film shows her only in a glamorous way. Director Buchi Babu Sana focused on looks more than the story. Fans say she did not get a strong role with real depth. This is not the first time. The same talk came up during her Telugu debut in Devara. In that film, too she had only a few scenes and songs in the second half. Viewers felt she was just a visual part of the movie, not a key part of the plot.

The main problem is not Janhvi’s acting. The issue is the type of roles she gets. In both Devara and Peddi, makers gave more weight to glamour than to character. Janhvi has talent and screen presence, but films are not using it well. People remember her mother Sridevi, for strong roles. Sridevi did both commercial films and serious roles with ease. She worked in many languages and won love for her acting. That is why fans ask if Telugu films are really testing Janhvi’s skill or just using her star name.

Tollywood is known for strong female characters who drive the story. But when a star like Janhvi comes in, directors often choose safe glamour parts. Many feel she can do emotional and deep roles that connect with people. Using her only for songs and style makes the role forgettable, even if the movie earns money. It is a missed chance for both the actor and the industry.

Janhvi is very popular in the South now. This is the right time for makers to give her better parts. Audiences have seen her glam side already. What they want next is a role that shows her real acting and feeling. If films keep giving her small ornamental parts, her talent will stay hidden. Good roles can help her grow and also give Tollywood lasting female characters.
