After impressing everyone with her Bollywood debut Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor is ready to face the camera down South. Yes, it is quite possible that Janhvi will be making her debut in South soon. Interestingly, word is that she will be seen romancing Arjun Reddy star Vijay Deverkonda, whom she is really fond of. Janhvi has expressed her admiration for the actor a lot of times and this project could be a dream come true for her. According to various media reports, Janhvi Kapoor is likely to romance Vijay in filmmaker Puri Jagannadh's next, which is tentatively titled Fighter. However, it seems Janhvi Kapoor wasn't the first choice for this film. Actresses like Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani were offered to play the female lead's part but they apparently refused to do the film. In fact, it was Karan Johar who suggested Janhvi's name to Puri Jagannadh for his film. Also Read - Vijay Deverakonda to make his Bollywood debut with Abhishek Kapoor's next?

The actress is still working her date diary, and in all probability, she might commence shooting in February," a source close to the development informed Deccan Chronicle. A confirmation from the filmmaker and actress is awaited. Also Read - When Vijay Deverakonda revealed how the character of Arjun Reddy 'exhausted' him
