Here's how Karan Johar's Dharma Productions made the announcement.
After the big announcement about Janhvi's maiden Bollywood film was made earlier this month, the director shared a clarification about reports that Dhadak is a remake of critically acclaimed Marathi film Sairat. "The basic premise is of differences in caste, honour killing and what it means to survive in that world and I feel that is the conflict that is alive all across India, you will hear stories like that. So in that sense, the basic premise (of Dhadak and Sairat) is same. But there are variations," is what he told PTI.
Talking about the fresh cast he's working with in Dhadak, the director told PTI: "Janhvi and Ishaan are great people and are very hardworking. These are the two things that I always look for in actors."
Dhadak is slated to release on July 6 next year, which is months before Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan makes her debut with Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath.
