Janhvi Kapoor is currently riding high on the success of her latest release Bawaal alongside Varun Dhawan. The film has garnered a good response from the audience and Janhvi, Varun and director Nitesh Tiwari are leaving no stone unturned to promote their film. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Janhvi opened up about the list of actors and directors she dreams of working with. The actress also shared her excitement about teaming up with Jr NTR in Devara, revealing that she had manifested working with the RRR star and finally, her dream came true.
“I really manifested working with Jr NTR so much, I think for 1 year I was like, ‘Please mujhe mauka mile, (please give me a chance)’ and now finally it happened.” When Varun took Hrithik Roshan’s name, she said, “Yeah of course, I’ve been obsessed with him for a very long time,” she told the portal.
The Good Luck Jerry actor also disclosed that her Wishlist includes other actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Johnny Lever and Tiger Shroff. While talking about directors, Janhvi is eager to collaborate with Neeraj Ghaywan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan Johar.

“I do believe that what you put in the universe is what you attract. I have learnt to be always positive and do your work. That is the moral of the story,” she said.
