Janhvi Kapoor regrets not learning Telugu for Devara
Knowing her dedication to the craft, the actress would want to ace everything she takes on her plate. In an interview, Janhvi revealed how she regrets not learning Telugu for Devara, despite it being her mom's maternal mother tongue.
Devara will see a pan-Indian release in five languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Apart from Hindi, which happens to be one of the first languages,
the Roohi actress struggled with other regional languages.
'I never learned Telugu, and it is something I am ashamed of. I can understand it phonetically, but I can't speak it. Yes, it is one of my biggest regrets," she expressed.

They are working with such stalwarts, and I am so grateful they are just a call away to help me with my lines."
She also added that she wants to focus on speaking only in Telugu to be proficient enough for the film.
In another interview with Film Companion, Kapoor said, "I just received my dialogues, and I want to learn them as soon as possible. I don't want to talk in English and only speak Telugu for the next few days."
On the work front, along with Jr. NTR's Devara, Janhvi Kapoor has also bagged another South Indian film titled RC16, starring
Ram Charan.
