Dhadak, a love story of two teenagers fighting caste system
If Dhadak is Sairat's remake, as is popularly believed, then it'll be a story of two teenagers fighting the caste system for love.
Sairat starred actors Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar.
Though Janhvi's debut, it is Ishan's second feature film. He has previously featured in Iranian director Majid Majidi's film 'Beyond The Clouds', which was recently screened at the BFI Film Festival.
