Dhadak director reveals reason behind casting star kids Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor

Dhadak
  • Dhadak director opened up about his decision to cast star kids.
  • Khaitan shared that he had met Ishaan earlier.
  • He found Janhvi’s vulnerability to be perfect for the role.

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter made their Bollywood debuts with the 2018 film Dhadak, a project that generated much hype but also faced criticism for casting star kids.

Recently, the film’s director, Shashank Khaitan, opened up about his decision to cast them. Khaitan shared that he had met Ishaan earlier and found Janhvi’s vulnerability to be perfect for the role. He emphasized, “I was not asked by anyone to cast them.”

Dhadak, a remake of the popular Marathi film Sairat, received mixed reactions. The film was criticized for altering the storyline of the original, and some viewers even trolled the performances of the lead pair. Reflectinvg on the backlash, Khaitan said, “In the first week, we were heavily criticized for daring to adapt Sairat. It was confusing because while we were being trolled and criticized, the box office numbers told a different story.”

Despite the criticism, the film performed well at the box office, a significant achievement for a debut-led film. Khaitan admitted that the experience was challenging, especially for Janhvi and Ishaan, but noted that producer Karan Johar remained positive and supportive throughout the process.

Dhadak was a commercial success, and its sequel, Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, has already been announced.

Ishaan Khatter’s Playful Beard Tug with Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan
  • Amitabh Bachchan is a legendary figure in the entertainment realm.
  • He has left an indelible mark on the film industry over his illustrious five-decade-long career.
  • Revered as a phenomenal actor, he not only captivates audiences but also serves as a profound inspiration.

Amitabh Bachchan, a legendary figure in the entertainment realm, has left an indelible mark on the film industry over his illustrious five-decade-long career. Revered as a phenomenal actor, he not only captivates audiences but also serves as a profound inspiration. This admiration transcends generations, influencing even today’s young talents, including Bollywood sensation Ishaan Khatter. In a recent interview, Khatter shared an endearing anecdote from the sets of “Sooryavansham,” where he playfully engaged with the iconic actor’s beard and also revealed how Amitabh Bachchan played a pivotal role in his early education.

During a conversation with Mashable India, Ishaan Khatter fondly recollected a memory from the filming of “Sooryavansham,” where he accompanied his mother, Neliima Azeem, who was a part of the movie alongside Big B. Amusingly, Khatter reminisced, “I saw him and started screaming ‘bale miyan, bale miyan.’ He noticed me. So we kind of became friends apparently. I used to pull his beard or something like that.”

A post shared by Ishaan (@ishaankhatter)

Khatter’s connection with Amitabh Bachchan extended beyond their on-set camaraderie. He disclosed that his mother had acted with the legendary star in “Sooryavansham” when he was just a toddler of 2-3 years old. Since Neliima Azeem had no nanny at the time, Khatter often accompanied her to the set. His first glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan’s cinematic prowess came from watching “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.”

However, Khatter’s association with Amitabh Ji ran deeper. Recalling a heartwarming incident, Khatter shared how the megastar personally intervened to secure his admission into a prestigious Mumbai school that his mother aspired for. The school in question was Jamnabai, renowned for its excellence. Despite Neliima’s efforts, Khatter faced difficulties in gaining admission. In a gesture of benevolence, Amitabh Bachchan took it upon himself to approach the school authorities, facilitating Khatter’s enrollment.

Meanwhile, Khatter’s own career has been on a steady rise. His appearance in the 2022 film “Phone Bhoot” alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi and Katrina Kaif was well-received. Additionally, his forthcoming role in “Pippa,” centered around the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, holds great promise. Though the film’s release date remains undisclosed, Khatter’s portrayal of Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta is highly anticipated. As his journey in the industry continues, Khatter stands as a testament to Amitabh Bachchan’s enduring influence, both as a mentor and a source of inspiration.
