Directed by Sharan Sharma, the film is about a couple and their passion for cricket.

Rajkummar also becomes her coach. ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’ also stars Rajesh Sharma, Kumud Mishra, and Zarina Wahab among others. It is the second collaboration between Janhvi and Sharan after ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’.

Mr and Mrs Mahi is a piece of my heart and for all those who understood and connected with what we were trying to say, thank you.”
