Actor Janhvi Kapoor is reportedly in talks for a new large-scale creature horror film, even as discussions continue around her role in Peddi.
According to reports, the upcoming project is being developed by Jio Studios and is expected to be directed by Rahi Anil Barve, known for his critically acclaimed film Tumbbad, which was praised for its dark fantasy storytelling and unique visual style.
Sources suggest that Kapoor is currently reading multiple scripts and evaluating her next projects. The creature horror film is said to be one of the strongest options under consideration at this stage.
A source quoted in entertainment reports said that the project is already in early development. Preparations are reportedly underway, and the production team is aiming to begin filming later this year if everything moves forward as planned.
If finalised, the film would require extensive preparation from the actor, including workshops and character development sessions due to the demanding nature of the role and genre.
While this would mark her entry into creature horror cinema, Janhvi Kapoor has previously appeared in horror-themed projects such as Roohi and Ghost Stories, though those were in different narrative formats and tones.
The development comes at a time when Peddi continues to attract public attention and debate. Some viewers have raised concerns about the portrayal of her character, Achiyamma, particularly regarding certain scenes they described as overly suggestive.
Following the criticism, director Buchi Babu Sana reportedly expressed regret over audience discomfort and confirmed that the controversial portions were later edited.
Despite the ongoing discussion around Peddi, attention is now shifting toward Kapoor’s potential move into a darker, more experimental genre, which could mark a significant change in her upcoming film choices.
