# Janhvi Kapoor turns selective, eyes stronger roles after Peddi

> Since Peddi released, Janhvi Kapoor has kept a low profile and is reportedly slowing down on new films while she looks for roles built on performance rather than glamour.

Janhvi Kapoor has kept things unusually quiet over the last few months. Since the release of Peddi, the actress has largely stayed out of the spotlight and has skipped most of the promotional activity in Hyderabad, a step back that has not gone unnoticed.

Reports suggest she was not happy with how her character was shown in Peddi, especially the glamorous way it was portrayed. That is said to be the reason she kept her promotional appearances for the film to a minimum.

The slowdown is not limited to one report. In Bollywood too, Janhvi is not rushing to sign new projects. She is reportedly taking her time to think through the next stage of her career, and wants to move past the usual glamorous and commercial parts that have come her way.

According to reports, the actress is keen on roles driven by performance, the kind that give her stronger characters with more to do on screen. Rather than picking films for their glamour quotient, she is said to be looking closely at what the part itself offers her as an actor.

There has also been talk that she has signed Allu Arjun's Raaka. However, nothing has been officially confirmed about her being part of the project so far, so the news remains unverified for now.

For the moment, Janhvi seems happy to move at a measured pace and weigh every offer carefully. Until there is an official word, fans will have to wait to see which project she picks next and whether it brings the kind of role she is reportedly hoping for.
