Janhvi Kapoor has sparked online discussion after fans noticed that she had liked a social media post criticising her latest film Peddi. The post described the film as “the most expensive disrespect ever paid to a leading woman in Indian cinema” and questioned the writing and portrayal of her character Achiyamma.

Since the film’s release, social media has seen a wave of criticism directed at director Buchi Babu Sana and the makers over certain scenes involving the female lead. Some users questioned why such moments made it into the final cut, while others criticised the portrayal and creative choices. A section of viewers also expressed disappointment with the handling of the character and called the writing outdated and uncomfortable.

The post liked by Janhvi argued that while the film focused heavily on the protagonist’s journey and larger themes, the female lead was not given enough emotional depth or narrative importance. It further questioned whether Achiyamma’s character had enough agency within the story.

Screenshots of Janhvi’s like quickly spread across social media and triggered speculation among fans. Many interpreted it as a sign that the actress may share at least some of the concerns raised about her role. However, Janhvi has not made any public statement addressing the discussion.

The like later appeared to be removed, adding further attention to the online conversation. Without an official clarification from the actress, interpretations remain limited to social media reactions.

The film has received mixed responses overall, with some praising performances and others questioning the treatment of supporting characters, particularly the female lead.
