Janhvi Kapoor On Paying Tribute To MS Dhoni With Her Next

Actor Janhvi Kapoor has said her upcoming sport drama Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is a hat tip to cricket legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni, whose statement from a press event served as an inspiration for the film. Directed by Sharan Sharma of Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl fame, the movie features Janhvi and Rajkumar Rao as the titular couple — Mahendra, a former cricketer, and Mahima, who is a doctor. After Mahendra spots the cricketing talent in his wife, he encourages her to chase her dream and becomes her coach.

“He (Dhoni) gave an interview where he said, ‘It’s not about the result but about the process. If you do your process with honesty and hard work, the result will be seen at the end and even if you fail, it doesn’t matter.’ This film is made on that line by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. I hope we honour his philosophy,” Janhvi said.

For Janhvi, learning cricket for Mr. & Mrs. Mahi turned out to be a herculean task as she suffered a lot of injuries during the process.

“A lot of hard work has gone into it. I trained for almost two years. I started training while promoting Mili. Our director is a purist and works with a lot of honesty, so he wanted me to become a cricketer for the film. He didn’t want to use VFX or do anything halfheartedly.

“I suffered a lot of injuries as well while prepping, both my shoulders were dislocated, but I’d like to give all the credit to him, the director, and both my coaches Abhishek Nayar and Vikrant sir who have done a lot of hard work and held my hand at every turn,” she said.
