Janhvi Kapoor’s Bio-pic Goes To  Digital Platform

Karan   Johar’s Dharma Productions has seen  better days . The last two years  have not been kind to the  films  released  by Johar’s posh production House  Dharma. And now  the  Coronavirus  is playing  havoc with Johar’s  release plans.

 Gunjan Saxena: The  Kargil  Girl,the bio-pic on India’s first female  airforce  pilot which was to release theatrically  would  now get a digital release.

This is  not  a  happy state  of  affairs  for  Janhvi Kapoor. A trueblue Dharma girl, Kargil Girl is her third  film with Karan Johar. She made her debut with  Dhadak  for Dharma  in  2018  followed  by a short film directed by Karan in the  Ghost Stories omnibus.

Janhvi has  given her  best shot to playing Gunjan Saxena, going as  far as to learn the  basics of  air-flying to look convincing in  her part.  Sources  close to Karan Johar’s Dharma  Production say  Janhvi has delivered an  award-winning  performance in the film.

Sadly, the National awards for cinema  do not preclude the  products release  straight on  the OTT platform
