& Mrs. Mahi has been Sharan’s second film with Janhvi, the first being Gunjan Saxena- The Kargil Girl. The two of them share a very close bond.

Janhvi Kapoor, in an interview on a lighter note shared that during the training for the film, she became ‘Thakur’ from Sholay as both her hands were injured. She also recalled a meeting with Sharan and shared with him about her injuries with Sharan thinking that she’s just overacting. Now in an exclusive interview with ETimes, Sharan has for the first time opened up about the incident.

He said, "I remember she had come into the office, and we were doing a reading and she was complaining that her shoulder is paining and all of that and I started giving her all this amazing pep talk about how every cricketer plays with a niggle, about how Sachin Tendulkar played an entire World Cup with a back problem. I am giving all these amazing cricket anecdotes of this match, and like what is this little shoulder pain . And literally during the meeting she broke down, she was in that much pain, and then I realized that something is serious.

Later when she met the coaches, they told her immediately to get all checks done and she went in for an MRI only to discover that there was a tear in the shoulder. S.
