Janhvi Kapoor to head to Kolkata with Ishaan Khatter for the shoot of Dhadak

Post the demise of Sridevi, Janhvi Kapoor surprised the team of Dhadak by resuming the shoot on Thursday morning. She agreed to resume work immediately as she didn’t want to delay the release date of the film.

A source informed the leading Indian daily, ''Janhvi and Ishaan will be shooting in Bandra for the next couple of days where they will film some romantic scenes. In the coming week, the duo will head to Kolkata to begin work on the story post-interval, when the lovers elope. They have completed the shoot of the first half which kicked off last December and was shot across Rajasthan and on a set in Mumbai where parts of the state were recreated.”

Confirming the news, director Khaitan said, “Yes, we have resumed the shoot, rumours of the team taking a break are untrue. We have started off in Mumbai and are looking forward to the Kolkata schedule.”

Producer Karan Johar wants Janhvi to go easy with the shoot of Dhadak because of the untimely demise of her mother. He doesn’t want her to rush into work. Talking about the same, a source told a leading Indian news agency, "Karan was close to Sridevi; he is also close to Janhvi now. He understands that she will not be in a position to work for a while. He has even instructed the team to take it easy with her. Having said that, Karan wants it to be a film that Sridevi would have been very proud of."

Dhadak is scheduled to release on July 20.
