Janhvi Kapoor will next be seen in Good Luck Jerry.
Directed by Sidharth Sengupta, the movie is the Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil black comedy crime film ‘Kolamaavu Kokila’.
‘Good Luck Jerry’, produced by Subaskaran Allirajah and Aanand L. Rai, also features Deepak Dobriyal, Mita Vashisht, Neeraj Sood, and Sushant Singh in pivotal roles.
The movie tells the story of a happy-go-lucky young girl who gets involved in a drug racket to earn quick money. The Tamil original had starred Nayanthara in the lead.
Now, as per the latest Peeping Moon report, the makers of the Janhvi Kapoor-starrer have decided to skip the theatre release. Reportedly, ‘Good Luck Jerry’ will have a direct-to-digital premiere on Disney+ Hotstar.
“Aanand L Rai has got a very lucrative deal from Disney+Hotstar and he’s seriously contemplating finalising it. The paperwork will happen as soon as the finances are locked in. Rai believes Good Luck Jerry will get a better and bigger release on OTT as compared to theatres, which are already packed with big-budget movies scheduled in the coming months.”
– a source informed the portal.
“Small and medium-budget Hindi films have all underperformed at the box office so far, and Rai doesn’t want his film to meet the same fate. And hence, he has decided to release the film on OTT as that would give it a wider release and more eyeballs,” the sorce added.
On the work front, Janhvi also has movies like Mili, Mr and Mrs Mahi, Dostana 2, including few more, lined up ahead of her.
