Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, who made their Bollywood debut together in the 2018 film “Dhadak,” are gearing up for another collaboration. Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Zee Studios and Dharma Productions, “Dhadak” was a significant success, grossing approximately $13.5 million worldwide. Audiences particularly appreciated the chemistry between Kapoor and Khatter on screen.
A New Venture: Emotional Human Drama
Following the triumph of “Dhadak,” director Neeraj Ghaywan is planning to bring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter together again for his next project. Filming is expected to commence in October in Bhopal. The ensemble cast will also feature Vishal Jethwa, a notable star in the industry. According to OTTplay, the upcoming film is described as an emotional human drama, distinct from their previous collaboration. A source close to the project revealed. “Neeraj Ghaywan has been meticulously developing this ensemble drama over the past two years.”
The source further elaborated, “The roles offered to Janhvi and Ishaan are a departure from their characters in ‘Dhadak.’ Since their first film together, they have eagerly awaited an opportunity to collaborate again, and they are thrilled to have found the perfect project in Neeraj’s film.” However, the tentative title of the film has not been confirmed by the makers yet. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement to see the duo back on screen after a hiatus of six years.
Neeraj Ghaywan, celebrated for his film Masaan, returns to feature films after nine years. He has also worked on notable projects for streaming platforms, such as Sacred Games Season 2 and Ajeeb Daastaans. This new collaboration with Karan Johar promises an exciting cinematic experience.
