It tells the story of two teenagers battling the rigid caste system for their love of each other. After Karan Johar’s tweet that shared the posters, other stars in the town of movies started to tweet their support of the movie, and welcoming Jhanvi Kapoor to Bollywood. Ishaan has already featured in Iranian director Majid Majidi’s Beyond The Clouds, which released abroad earlier this year and he has assisted director Abhishek Chaubey in Shahid Kapoor’s critically acclaimed drug drama Udta Punjab.SourceMany top production houses wanted to launch Jhanvi Kapoor on big screen, but Sridevi entrusted Dharma Productions of Karan Johar that has launched many stars in B-town. Earlier this year, Sridevi had dropped a major hint about Jhanvi’s debut project in an interview, saying: “Yes, Karan has been talking to us about a film for Jhanvi and we’ve given consent. But we don’t know which project it would be. Since Karan has recently acquired the remake rights of Sairat it is being presumed that our daughter would be launched in this project.” The veteran actor had also said this about Jhanvi’s debut recently, “Children have their own mind. When it comes to her work, I don’t want to advise. She must cultivate her craft all by herself, make her own choices and chart her own path.”
