Young actress of Bollywood Janhvi Kapoor has been roped in by the maker of horror comedy ‘Rooh-Afza‘ to play a double role. The actress will be seen playing two characters – Roohi and Afsana, which hints at a double role. Kapoor’s mother late Sridevi also played a double role in ‘Chaalbaaz’ and she is still remembered for her performance in the film.
Talking about Janhvi Kapoor, producer Dinesh Vijan said, “For Rooh-Afza, we needed actors who could jump into their roles with unabashed conviction. Rajkummar and Varun are phenomenal actors. Comedy is a space they excel in and own. For the female lead, we needed someone who could portray two contrasting personalities with ease and Janhvi stood out. She really connected with the script. Her talent is still raw, but she is excited about being molded. The script is young, refreshing and totally crazy, and she is exactly that.”
Producer and the co-writer of the film Mrighdeep Singh Lamba said, “We took some time to finalize the female lead. Besides being pretty, she needed to oscillate between two characters which are poles apart. You will fall in love with her in one scene and won’t believe she is the same girl in the next one. It is not an easy switch for an actor. It is the perfect casting.”
