A buzz is building around Shanaya Kapoor's performance in the upcoming film, tentatively titled "JC," directed by Shujaat Saudagar. The movie recently wrapped shooting, and praise is already flowing, most notably from a JC Cinematographer, who lauded Kapoor and the rest of the cast for their dedication and talent.
While specific details regarding the cinematographer's exact comments are not available, the positive sentiment adds to the anticipation surrounding Kapoor's burgeoning career. The completion of "JC" was celebrated with a cake, playfully hinting that Kapoor's character might be named Diana. Saudagar also shared a heartfelt message for Kapoor, writing, “Will miss you Dee, keep shining,” signaling a close bond formed during filming.
"JC" has also generated excitement due to Kapoor's pairing with Abhay Verma. Initial reactions suggest that their on-screen chemistry is fresh and engaging, potentially marking them as one of the standout duos of 2025. The film, directed by Saudagar, known for his emotionally resonant storytelling, promises to be a compelling watch.
Shanaya Kapoor is poised to make a significant impact on Bollywood in the coming years. Before "JC," Kapoor is set to debut in "Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan," alongside Vikrant Massey, scheduled for release on July 11, 2025. Producer Mansi Bagla has expressed confidence in Kapoor, stating that she was destined to launch her. Bagla mentioned that Kapoor brought the right blend of acting spark and fluidity to the character and surpassed expectations during filming. She also stated, "My idea behind Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan was to bring a sense of rawness and unpredictability to the character, something that could have been instinctively done by a fresh face. When I wrote the role, I found it to be a better fit for Shanaya Kapoor."
Adding to her growing list of projects, Kapoor will also star in "Tu Yaa Main," a survival thriller with Adarsh Gourav, slated for release on Valentine's Day 2026. The teaser for "Tu Yaa Main" has already generated significant buzz, showcasing a dangerous collaboration between social media influencers. Furthermore, she is reportedly joining the cast of "Student of the Year 3," expanding her range with both experimental and commercial roles.
Before venturing into acting, Shanaya Kapoor gained experience as an assistant director on "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl" (2020), starring her cousin Janhvi Kapoor. This behind-the-scenes exposure provided her with valuable insights into filmmaking. Although she was initially slated to debut with "Bedhadak," the project was eventually shelved.
With several promising projects in the pipeline and early praise for her work in "JC," Shanaya Kapoor is definitely one to watch. Her dedication, combined with her natural talent and the support of established industry figures, suggests a bright future in Bollywood.
