Tollywood’s reigning heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda seems to have worked his charm on the ladies in Bollywood too. Janhvi Kapoor, a self-confessed Vijay fan, is a case in point. The young actress, who made her Bollywood debut with Dhadak recently, confessed just as much on a popular chat show hosted by Karan Johar.

When Karan Johar asked Janhvi which male actor she would like to wake up as and why, the actress, who was on the show with brother Arjun Kapoor, was quick to reply: “Vijay Deverakonda... and do a film with me (Janhvi).” To which Karan replied, “For all of you who don’t know him, he has done Arjun Reddy, which is now being remade with Shahid Kapoor and he is touted as the supremely sexy south Indian movie star.” Janhvi was quick to add, “And extremely talented also.” Evidently, Janhvi is quite smitten by the Geetha Govindam actor. Tell Vijay that and he blushes. “Lots of love to both Karan and Janhvi. And, I will do a film with both of them soon...” he adds.

Though he refused to comment any further, there were reports earlier that both Vijay and Janhvi would pair up to do a film together. The actress had back then dismissed them as baseless rumours. So, will they pair up for a movie really? Watch this space for more.
