During the last couple of days, Sridevi's daughter Janhvi has been going around singing praises of Tollywood stars and expressing her desire to romance NTR. She said she loves Tollywood films and watched many of them. Rumors spread that the makers of NTR's 30 are finalizing her as the female lead opposite NTR.
In the meantime, it is coming out that Janhvi personally called NTR and expressed her desire to star in the film. NTR too gave the green signal and the makers finalized the deal. Buzz is Janhvi will be paid a whopping Rs 3crs as the remuneration. This is way too high compared to the remuneration of stars like Kiara Advani and Pooja Hegde.
But the makers feel that since Janhvi is making waves in Bollywood with her red-hot photo shoots, she will get that pan-India appeal to the film. The film has a pan India flavor and is releasing in various languages. In fact Koratala Shiva contacted Janhvi right after Alia Bhatt opted out of the project due to pregnancy but at that time Janhvi did not show interest. Later, Janhvi knowing that the makers are still on the lookout for the female lead, called NTR personally and expressed her desire to be part of the project and NTR too gave his consent.
