Janhvi, who took up the lead role in the remake of the black comedy crime film, recently revealed that Nayanthara told her she is proud of her for choosing such kind of roles so early in her career. She also said that she was excited to have just gotten a response from the actor.

Janhvi told Pinkvilla, "I read somewhere that she had said something positive and very sweet about the trailer and me. So I asked for her number and I messaged her and said 'thank you so much, it means a lot to me. Your kind words have made my day.'"

She added, "And she actually replied which was very exciting to me and she said that 'best of luck, and rooting for you,' and she said 'proud of you for doing such work so early in your career.' I was like that's a big one, that's a huge one. I was just so excited that she replied."

After the release of Good Luck Jerry's trailer, Nayanthara had wished her best to Janhvi and also called her perfect for the role. She said in a statement, "Kokila is so close to my heart and watching the GoodLuck Jerry trailer brings me so much joy, what an entertaining ride the audience is in for, there couldn’t have been a better Jerry! GoodLuck Jahnvi!"
