The remake of Sridevi’s 1989 cult classic Chaalbaaz has stirred controversy after Janhvi Kapoor replaced Shraddha Kapoor in the lead role. Initially, the film was announced in 2021 as Chaalbaaz in London; the project was to star Shraddha, but delays led to a casting change. Reports now suggest Janhvi has “jumped onto the chance” to headline the film.

Reddit users didn’t hold back their disappointment. Many questioned why Janhvi continues to be cast in major roles despite a string of underwhelming performances and box office failures. One user bluntly asked, “How many movies do we have to suffer until Janhvi quits acting?” while another urged, “Take Sanya Malhotra instead, she fits the role.”
