Very few newcomers have captured the hearts of the audience like Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar have done in Dhadak. Obviously, a lot of credit must be given to their mentors Karan Johar and Shashank Khaitan who brought out the best in them in the remake of Sairat. Whether it was Janhvi’s screen presence or Ishaan’s effortless expressions, people have warmed up to the young stars. Today, we saw this new picture of the two in this new still and just how adorable they look together. In the film, they flee to Kolkata from Janhvi aka Parthavi’s parents and get married.
In the new still, we see them in the get up of a Bengali bride and groom. They are dressed in quintessential bridal costumes. Janhvi is wearing a red saree and he has the trademark kurta and dhoti. They are also wearing the traditional headgear. Like it happened in Sairat, they get refuge in the home of a couple who look after them. Dhadak has already crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in India. It is going strong despite competition from Sanju, Soorma and Mission Impossible: Fallout. It is expected to cross Rs 60 crore by Monday. Sairat, the original was a masterpiece directed by Nagraj Manjule.
Veterans have also lavished praise on the young actors. While Ishaan was seen before in Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds, this is Janhvi’s first film. Madhuri Dixit Nene and Varun Dhawan have sent them love. Stay tuned to BL for more scoop and updates!
