Ishaan Khatter in talks to topline Geetha Govindam’s remake

Ishaan Khatter, who made his acting debut with Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s Hindi film Beyond The Clouds (2018), scored a huge hit when he paired up with Janhvi Kapoor in Karan Johar’s Dhadak (2018).

Helmed by Shashank Khaitan, the movie did fabulous business at the box-office and helped Khatter gain his footing in showbiz. While many people thought that after the stupendous success of Dhadak, he would take up new projects left, right and centre, Ishaan decided to take it slow and is yet to sign a new film on the dotted line.


However, speculations are rife that the young actor has been approached by the makers of successful Telugu film Geetha Govindam (2018) to play the male lead in its Hindi remake. The original film starred Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in prominent parts.

While Geetha Govindam was directed by well-known filmmaker Parasuram, there is no news on who will direct its Hindi remake.

It will be interesting to see if Ishaan Khatter agrees to do the film.

An official announcement is awaited.
