Janhvi Kapoor’s decision to step away from Karan Johar’s talent agency has sparked conversations in the industry, but the filmmaker has made it clear that the move comes with no bitterness.

Karan Johar, who played a key role in launching Janhvi’s career in Bollywood, addressed the development with a composed and positive outlook. He stated that he holds no hard feelings and continues to wish the best for all artists who choose to explore opportunities beyond his agency. He also emphasized that professional transitions are natural and that he remains open to collaborating with them in the future.

Janhvi, who was long associated with Johar’s production house, is now entering a more independent phase, working with a new management team and expanding her presence across industries. Her growing interest in Telugu cinema marks a significant shift, indicating her ambition to build a stronger pan-Indian identity.

Meanwhile, her upcoming projects reflect this transition. She will be seen alongside Ram Charan in ‘Peddi’, and there is strong buzz about her being considered for Allu Arjun’s next film with director Atlee. Additionally, she is expected to begin work on ‘Devara 2’ next year.

While Janhvi Kapoor moves into a new chapter, Karan Johar’s response underscores a mature industry equation—one that balances professional evolution with continued mutual respect.
