Actor Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter is all set to reunite for Dharma Productions after six years of their debut with Shashank Khaitan’s “Dhadak.” According to an exclusive report by the PeepingMoon.com the duo will headline Dharma’s next drama film, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan.
Vishal Jethwa, who played the antagonist in Rani Mukherji’s “Mardaani 2,” will be seen in a prominent role in this emotional human drama. The film is currently in pre-production and is scheduled to begin shooting in October 2024 in Bhopal.
A source close to the project revealed, “It’s a well-written, ensemble-cast drama that Neeraj Ghaywan has been working on for the past two years. Both Janhvi and Ishaan have enormous admiration for the director’s work and quickly came aboard the film as it offers them roles that are a complete departure from what they played in ‘Dhadak.’ They had been itching to collaborate once more since their first movie and are thrilled to have found the perfect reunion recipe in Neeraj’s film.”
This new project marks Neeraj Ghaywan’s second feature directorial, nine years after his critically acclaimed debut film, “Masaan.” Since then, Ghaywan has primarily focused on OTT projects, directing episodes for “Sacred Games Season 2,” “Made in Heaven Season 2,” and a segment in Dharma Productions’ anthology “Ajeeb Daastaans.” His collaboration with Karan Johar on this new film comes after a previous attempt to work together on a biopic of Arunima Sinha with Alia Bhatt fell through in 2019.
The yet-untitled film continues Janhvi Kapoor’s strong association with Dharma Productions, marking their sixth collaboration following “Dhadak,” “Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl,” “Mr. and Mrs. Mahi,” and the forthcoming “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari” with Varun Dhawan. For Ishaan Khatter, this will be his second film with Dharma Productions. Vishal Jethwa, making a notable transition to Dharma Productions, previously worked with Yash Raj Films on “Mardaani 2” and “Tiger 3.”
