R Balki to rope in newcomers Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter?

According to reports, ace filmmaker R Balki might rope in newcomers Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor in the next film he directs. The trio was recently photographed travelling together in a car after a meeting at the IMPPA (Indian Motion Pictures Producers’ Association) House in Mumbai. This has led people to speculate that Balki might be planning a film with the young actors.

Balki last directed the Akshay Kumar and Radhika Apte starrer, Pad Man, which was a box-office hit. There were rumours that he would call the shots for a biopic on Arunima Sinha, the first female amputee to climb Mount Everest, right after the release of Pad Man. However, the director refuted reports while promoting his last film.


Talking about Janhvi and Ishaan, the duo is gearing up to promote their film Dhadak. Helmed by Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) fame, Shashank Khaitan, Dhadak launches Janhvi Kapoor in Bollywood, while it will be the second offering for Katter who made his debut with Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds.

Produced by Karan Johar under his banner, Dharma Productions, Dhadak is the official remake of superhit Marathi film Sairat (2016). It is slated to roll into cinemas on 20th July, 2018.
