Someone’s loss is someone’s gain, and in this case, the one to benefit is Janhvi Kapoor. Sonakshi Sinha was one of the first actors to be approached for Sidharth Sengupta’s Good Luck Jerry. However, the Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil hit, Kolamaavu Kokila, starring Nayanthara, found a new taker. After a screening of the original, Sona gave her nod, but things eventually didn’t materialise. In fact, director Nelson Dilipkumar, who helmed the original, was also retained for the Hindi adaptation. However, with the constant delays, the director lost interest in the project and Sidharth was roped in at the behest of producer Aanand L Rai. The filmmaker then brought Janhvi on board and the rest is history.
