Janhvi Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of the much-anticipated Tollywood film Peddi, recently opened up about her profound spiritual connection with the sacred Tirumala shrine. Known for her deep devotion, Janhvi emphasizes that her darshan of Lord Venkateswara is incomplete without climbing all 3,500 steps to reach the temple, a ritual she faithfully performs every visit.
After making a striking Tollywood debut with NTR’s Devara, directed by Koratala Shiva, Janhvi is now set to impress audiences further in Peddi. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film features a stellar cast including Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu Sharma, and Shiva Rajkumar, with acclaimed composer Rahman providing the soundtrack. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this film, scheduled for release on April 30, 2026.
Janhvi shared, “I know how many devotees wait for hours just to have a glimpse of Lord Venkateswara in Tirupati, and I feel incredibly blessed for the time I get. Yet, no matter what, my darshan never feels complete unless I climb all 3,500 steps every single time.” Her heartfelt words resonate with many devotees on social media, deepening the admiration for her humility and dedication.
As the countdown to Peddi’s release continues, audiences are excited to witness Janhvi’s evolving journey in Tollywood, blending her spiritual strength with her cinematic pursuits.
