Janhvi Kapoor's much-awaited debut film, Dhadak is set to hit the screens on July 20, 2018. The trailer of the film will be out today, and everyone is eager to get a feel of the film. Dhadak, which also stars Ishaan Khatter, is inspired by the Marathi blockbuster Sairat, which revolves around the theme of inter-caste love and honour killing. While Sairat was set in the interiors of Maharashtra, Dhadak will be set in Rajasthan. Janhvi was all smiles at a recent dinner. Photo: Yogen Shah. Ahead of the launch, Jahnvi looks much relaxed. At a recent event, Jhanvi wore a midnight-blue polka dot dress by Réalisation Par. The dress gave off summery vibes as Janhvi paired it with glossy lips and just -shampooed hair.

The pair seems to be a special favourite with the young star, and she has worn them more than once. Janhvi wore a pair of Louis Vuitton trainers multiple times.

The much-awaited trailer of her debut film Dhadak is out where fans get to see Sridevi's little girl carry her legacy forward on the big screen. From Anil Kapoor to daddy Boney Kapoor and sister Khushi Kapoor were present at the Dhadak trailer launch, while Arjun Kapoor gave a special shout-out to her and apologized for his absence on social media. Janhvi Kapoor smiled as she accepted that she is nervous facing the media but also looked calm and composed when she answered media questions about her late mother. But her younger sister Khushi Kapoor couldn't hold back her tears. As she watched her sister's dream turned into reality, Khushi broke down and hugged her sister on the stage itself. Clearly, after their mother's demise, Janhvi and Khushi remain each other's biggest source of strength and it's overwhelming to see the two. Watch the video here: Earlier in an interview to Vogue, Janhvi spoke about Khushi's maternal instincts and said, “I’ve always been very bad at that. Khushi is very maternal with me. I am a full baby. She takes care of me. Now she comes and puts me to sleep sometimes.” She further added, “I could always be the baby with her. When I’d wake up, the first thing I’d do was ask for her. I’d need her to put me to sleep sometimes and she literally had to feed me. The day before she left for the wedding, I had to shoot, but I couldn’t sleep, so I was like, “I need you to come and put me to sleep.” But she was packing, so by the time she came to me I was half asleep. But I could feel her patting my head.”<doc-sep>Dhadak will launch Janhvi Kapoor opposite Ishan Khatter in the remake of hit Marathi film Sairat. (Source: Dharma Productions/ Twitter) Dhadak will launch Janhvi Kapoor opposite Ishan Khatter in the remake of hit Marathi film Sairat. (Source: Dharma Productions/ Twitter) Trailer for Dhadak, the debut film of Sridevi’s elder daughter Janhvi was released on Monday. In a star-studded event, filmmaker Karan Johar introduced the lead pair, Ishan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor of the upcoming movie, a remake of award-winning Marathi film Sairat. The Hindi version of the National Award winning film has been directed by Shashank Khaitan, who is known for his other Bollywood love stories – Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. The film talks about two innocent people who fall in love without realising the vast gap between their class and economic background and highlights their struggle and their love. Karan Johar bought the rights of Sairat after it made history by entering the coveted Rs 100-crore club. The original was directed by Nagraj Manjule and starred newbies Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar. As Dhadak got made under the umbrella of Johar’s Dharma production who decided to give the regional film a Bollywood spin, not everyone was pleased. Here is how Twitterati are reacting to the trailor: After watching this trailer my respect for sairat actors has reached its peak! ! I mean these starkids must have been through so many acting tutorials, guidance by some legendary actors yet the simplicity, rawness is missing! #DhadakTrailer — $hrddha (@Shrddha8) June 11, 2018 Literally saw the SAIRAT trailer twice to get over the trailer of DHADAK. Another perfect example of how classics are ruined. https://images.indianexpress.com/2020/08/1x1.png So far as the promo is concerned, the film may not land anywhere close to the original! Sairat was magic. @karanjohar @DharmaMovies #DhadakTrailer — Shivam (@_BeingShivam_) June 11, 2018 Yaar kya hai yeh. First they destroyed the Marathi movie and then demolished the Rajasthani accent #DhadakTrailer — Harshvardhan Singh (@realharshvardan) June 11, 2018 Why @karanjohar why??!! Why did you spoil #Sairat for us. Thoroughly disappointed with #DhadakTrailer 👎 If you loved it so much, at least you could’ve done justice to the film. #Dhadak is nothing but a money-making venture for @DharmaMovies. The heart is lost 😩 #Ishaan #Janhvi — Anwesh Panda (@anwesh_panda) June 11, 2018 This movie is going to be a disappointment. Its just another rich girl, poor boy Hindi movie. And add @karanjohar to the mix and its the blandest khichadi. All the reasons why Sairat worked is lost of Dhadak makers. #DhadakTrailer — Samiksha (@samiksha_nate) June 11, 2018 #dhadaktrailer is why we need more of @beemji. #Sairat was a crushing story of caste in love. From first look, Dhadak is usual UC fluff. Taking our stories and strangling the life out of them https://t.co/odZZeBoIKI — Dhrubo Jyoti (@dhrubo127) June 11, 2018 The #Dhadak trailer doesn’t feature ONE reference to caste! Sairat was an inter-caste love story; it was the CENTRAL CONFLICT. What is the point of making a remake of the film if you’re not looking at caste?! Also, ‘Zingaat’ will always be a Marathi classic, thank you, — Maanvi (@Maanvi2501) June 11, 2018 Regional cinema is soulful, it captures the dialect & earthen humor so well. A Bollywood remake is almost a parody by ham actors and a khichdi of local dialect and Hindi. #Sairat vs #Dhadak is #Reebok vs #Reebook — Rofl Gandhi (@RoflGandhi_) June 11, 2018 When you take story from Sairat, colors from Raanjhanna, set locations inspired from bhansali and still can’t give viewers something to root on.#DhadakTrailer — Anurag (@anurag__mishra) June 11, 2018 #DhadakTrailer is a guide book for all aspiring directors and producers on how to ruin a classic in a multiple ways. — Ranjitsingh Gaonkar (@ImRanjitGaonkar) June 11, 2018 Pathetic work done by the director. The producers have ruined the career of two new comers due to copy paste of scene by scene. Fresh script and scene could have saved it. #DhadakTrailer begins with a Flop, congratulations to the producer, director and entire team. — IRFAN 👨🏻‍💻 (@simplyirfan) June 11, 2018 #DhadakTrailer Sairat in little less spicy in chemistry of actors, but pretty full with drama and music! — Shivram Latpate (@MyNameIsShivram) June 11, 2018 #DhadakTrailer Looks like they went for remake of Sairat but ended up with remake of Ishaqzaade. — NARESH (@connect2ns) June 11, 2018 But then again as the trailer dropped, it got Bollywood buffs in frenzy and people couldn’t stop talking about the colourful images, the poignant cinematography and the lead pair’s sizzling chemistry. While many lauded Khatter’s performance, seeing Kapoor making her breakthrough on the silver screen, it took most Sridevi fans down memory lane. Sample these. Ishaan is easily the best thing about #DhadakTrailer 🎵 How do i tell u How much i love u I will never be able to 😂 pic.twitter.com/TtfTvDjo4G — Od (@odshek) June 11, 2018 So Dhadak basically is an adaptation of Sairat remade in Hindi. The Hindi version of Zingaat has made me curious #DhadakTrailer — Ashwin Shetty (@ashwinshetty9) June 11, 2018 Loved #DhadakTrailer,how smoothly is #Ishaan acting,can definitely say the boy is here to stay 🔥 — 𝘚𝘈𝘕𝘑𝘜 (@_RKEIGHT) June 11, 2018 Missing #Sridevi today. She would’ve been on cloud nine today when #DhadakTrailer is out. Wish u all the best #janhvikapoor. U hv those genes to conquer this industry. Hope the movie becomes ATBB. #SrideviLivesForever — Ankur (@RrAnkur) June 11, 2018 It’s too early to say but going by the trailer it seems to me that a star is born in #JhanviKapoor She looks confident, has got Sridevi’s expressions & emoting through her eyes. The boy too looks good. #DhadakTrailer — PhantomDarkness (@PhantomRule) June 11, 2018 I saw a spark in Jhanvi eyes like Sridevi. I think sridevi is back in jhanvi face. I hope Jhanvi make her mother proud. Amazing trailer. Loved it. All the best Jhanvi. You rocked it. Good ishan khattar #DhadakTrailer #JhanviKapoor — Shurjeel fiaz (@shurjeel_fiaz) June 11, 2018 In case you missed the Dhadak trailer, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishan Khatter, take a look here: Did you like the trailer?

It was an emotional moment for Jahnvi Kapoor to begin the promotions of her debut Dhadak, a film, she says her mother, veteran star Sridevi, wanted her to be a part of. It was an emotional moment for Janhvi Kapoor to begin the promotions of her debut Dhadak, the Hindi adaptation of the Marathi hit Sairat, a film, she says her mother, veteran star Sridevi, wanted her to be a part of. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Dhadak is the official adaptation of Nagraj Manjule's critically-acclaimed film and is produced by Karan Johar. Janhvi's debut comes a few months after her Sridevi's sudden death at the age of 54 in February. "I saw Sairat with mom at home and I remember telling her 'I wish that this was my first film and I could do something like it'. Me and mom had this big discussion on how she wanted a role like this for me and then you (Karan) called and it happened," Janhvi told reporters here. When asked if she had received any tips from her, Janhvi, with a lump in her throat, said, "I definitely miss her today. The biggest and the most helpful tip is to work hard and feel every emotion." On whether her father, producer Boney Kapoor, gave her a piece of advice for her first film, the 21-year-old said, "He didn't give any tips but he has given me a lot of love and support, which is far more important." While the original film featured Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar, the adaptation will see Janhvi and Ishaan Khatter as young lovers. Janhvi said she has treated her character differently from the one in Sairat. "What Rinku did with that character, I don't think any other actor can even touch it. But my character is different from hers. I tried portraying my character with a lot of honesty right from the beginning," she said. Ishaan, who made his debut with Majid Majidi's India-based film Beyond the Clouds earlier this year, said he is thrilled to be a part of "Sairat". "When I saw the (original) film, I was completely taken in. I was consumed by it. It took me a while to register that I will be doing this," Ishaan said. "When we saw the film once, Shashank had told us not to watch it again because then we would get influenced to some extent. So we took a fresh approach and prepared," he added. Janhvi's family including father Boney, sister Khushi, uncles Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor and cousins Harshvardhan Kapoor, Mohit Marwah were also present at the event to encourage her. Actor Neelima Azeem was also there to support her son Ishaan. Actor Arjun Kapoor, who is the half-brother of Janhvi, also extended his support to her in an Instagram post. "Tomorrow you will be part of the audience forever @janhvikapoor cause your trailer comes out... Firstly, sorry I'm not there in Mumbai but I'm by your side, don't worry. I just wanted you to know this profession is amazing if you work hard, be honest, learn to take the accolades with the brickbats, respect opinions, yet follow your own path and instinct. "It's not gonna be easy but I know your are ready for all the madness that will ensue. All the best for #dhadak! I'm certain my friends @shashankkhaitan and @karanjohar have presented you and @ishaan95 as the modern Romeo and Juliet with elan!" he wrote alongside his photograph with her, Khushi, Anshula and father Boney Kapoor. Tomorrow you will be part of the audience forever #JanhviKapoor cause your trailer comes out... Firstly, sorry I’m not there in Mumbai but I’m by your side, don’t worry.
