Taking to social media, Janhvi on Friday announced, "It's been the most special experience and I couldn't possibly be more honored and excited to bring to you the trailer of #GunjanSaxena: The Kargil Girl tomorrow at 10 am"
Earlier, the makers had released a teaser of the film as well which intrigued the viewers about the film. After the teaser surfaced on the internet, Gunjan Saxena wrote, "Very rarely have old memories flashed in front of me in such a sweet manner as was experienced after watching my montage with voice over of @janhvikapoor. I guess it is the time for culmination of an enriching journey which started with @sharansharma three years back. And what a journey it has been with Sharan. I have always admired his honesty, sincerity and a sensitive compassion while portraying my life on big screen. Everybody at my age has a story to tell. Lucky few like me have Sharan and Janhvi to narrate my story."
"None of life journeys are a walk in park and mine was no different. But at times a one track mind on goal does help. During my tenure in IAF, whatever little I could achieve was with the help of men and women in blue uniform. I sincerely hope everyone will enjoy the movie not because it is my story but more so because of the honest work of Sharan and his team."
On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut in 2018 with Dharma Productions film Dhadak opposite Ishaan Khatter. She will next be seen in Karan Johar's Dostana 2 with Kartik Aaryan and Lakshaya and Dinesh Vijan's Roohi Afza alongside Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma.
