Zendaya appears to have inspired Janhvi Kapoor’s fashion choices. The actor, who debuted the trailer for her next film Mr & Mrs Mahi on Sunday, took to Instagram Stories to say that she is ‘heavily inspired’ by Zendaya’s appearances during the marketing for Dune 2 and Challengers, and is attempting to emulate them for her own film.
Janhvi Kapoor embraces ‘method dressing’ inspired by Zendaya for Mr and Mrs Mahi promotions
During a recent Instagram Stories AMA, a fan asked Janhvi, ‘Is it true that you’re copying Zendaya?’ Responding to this question, she said, “Yes, I think I am very heavily inspired by what she [Zendaya] did for her Challengers and Dune promotions. And not just her, even Uorfi [Javed]. How creative she is with her fashion. I feel like as actors we all are encouraged to kind of do method dressing or dress similar to your characters while promoting a film. I haven’t really done it except for Dhadak but when I saw her doing it so well, dressed up in accordance to the theme of the film… I realized that as actors there is a good amount of attention put on how we look and how we dress, and if I can use that to bring attention back to my film then why not?”
“Mother Zendaya showed us the way. She showed us how to do it really well. So yes, definitely inspired by that and just hoping to follow her footsteps,” she also added. Zendaya has been offering back-to-back red carpet looks throughout the global promotional tour for her latest movies, Dune 2 and Challengers.
Janhvi recently wore a blouse with the number 6 printed on it, a blatant reference to her character in the film Mr & Mrs Mahi, who wears a number 6 jersey. She also donned a crimson cut-out dress with cricket balls fastened to the back last week to promote the flick. The trailer featured her character, a doctor, going through rigorous training to become a cricketer. The film, directed by Sharan Sharma, opens in theatres on May 31.
The actress also has Ulajh and her Telugu debut in Jr NTR’s forthcoming action movie Devara: Part 1 in the works.
