Janhvi Kapoor seeks divine blessings at Srivari Temple on ‘Peddi’ release 

MUMBAI: As her Telugu film “Peddi” starring Ram Charan hits the big screen on Thursday, Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor offered her prayers at the revered Srivari Temple in Andhra Pradesh.

The actress walked barefoot from her car to the temple dressed in a shimmering aubergine hued silk saree with floral motifs. Janhvi completed her look with a gold kamarbandh, choker necklace, jhumkas and gold bangles.

As Janhvi exited the temple, the daughter of late superstar Sridevi stopped at the gate, bowed before the shrine, and touched her forehead to the ground as a mark of respect.

Talking about Peddi, the film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film also stars Boman Irani, Shiva Rajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu and Divyenndu. The film is finally releasing on June 4. The film has Ram Charan playing a "crossover athlete" who excels in cricket, wrestling, and sprinting.

As per the synopsis, in a rural village, a determined young man rises through fierce sporting contests, confronting rivalry, pride and the weight of expectation.

Janhvi in Bollywood was last seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari by Shashank Khaitan. It also stars Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, Rohit Saraf, Maniesh Paul and Akshay Oberoi.
