Janhvi Kapoor has seemingly agreed with criticism of her portrayal in the film 'Peddi', calling it the 'most expensive disrespect' to an actress in Indian cinema. The film, which premiered recently, has faced backlash for its objectification and assault of the female lead, played by Janhvi.
The criticism stems from the film's portrayal of the female lead, Achiyyamma, who is objectified in many scenes and even assaulted by the main lead. Janhvi has liked a post on Instagram that criticises the film's makers for their handling of the character.
The post highlights how the film denies Achiyamma humanity, while giving the male lead a sociopolitical crusade. It also notes that Janhvi had questioned the shots during post-production, but the final edit kept the footage anyway.
Janhvi's liking of the post has sparked a reaction on social media, with some people praising her for standing up for herself and others criticizing her for not speaking out against the film's makers.
