Ace filmmaker Karan Johar unveiled the theatrical trailer of his forthcoming film Dhadak, which stars debutante Janhvi Kapoor, the elder daughter of late Bollywood icon Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor, and Ishaan Khatter.

Dhadak, the official adaptation of super successful Marathi film Sairat (2016), features Ishaan Khatter in the role of a Rajasthani teenager called Madhukar who falls head over heels in love with Parthavi, a girl who hails from a rich and influential family that can go to any length to save their honour. The character of Parthavi is played by Janhvi Kapoor who reminds of her mother, Sridevi, in many of the scenes in the movie.

At the grand trailer launch, which took place today at a theatre in Mumbai, the entire cast of the film was in attendance, along with director Shashank Khaitan. While Ishaan Khatter was accompanied by his mother, Neelima Azeem, Janhvi Kapoor’s entire family was present at the launch, including father Boney Kapoor, sister Khushi Kapoor, uncles Anil and Sanjay Kapoor, cousins Harshvardhan, Shanaya and Jahaan Kapoor.


During an interaction with media when Janhvi was asked about her first day of the shoot, she said, “It was fun and it was really excited to be in front of the camera. I remember I didn't sleep all night.”

Produced by Dharma Productions in collaboration with Zee Studios, Dhadak releases on 20th July, 2018.
