Touted to be a survivor-thriller film, Mili is a remake of the 2019 Malayalam movie Helen. Directed by National Award winner Mathukutty Xavier, the film also features Manoj Pahwa. The film will feature Janhvi as an honest working-class girl who gets locked in the freezer of a supermarket.

Going by the teaser, Mili seemingly demanded an emotionally draining performance from Janhvi as she will have to project her fears and physical collapse in below-zero temperatures. For film prep, the actor has decided to experience it all, from spending time in isolation to going through the first-hand trauma of being placed in freezing temperature.

Earlier, today, Janhvi took to Instagram to share the first-look poster where her character 'Mili' is introduced as a BSc Nursing graduate. "In 1 hour her life is going to change... #Mili," Janhvi captioned the post. In another poster shared by Janhvi, she looks quite scared and the poster reads, "frozen but not shaken".
