Janhvi and Ishaan starrer 'Dhadak' makers ban phones on sets after clips get leaked online

Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter have resumed shooting for their much-awaited film 'Dhadak'. Just two days after the duo resumed shooting, clips from the shoot got leaked online. Post this; the makers of the film have decided to take it upon themselves to protect the leads' looks from getting leaked. Producer Karan Johar and director Shashank Khaitan have now issued a very strict no-phone policy on the sets.

A source said, "When the team found out about the leaked videos on Saturday night, it promptly reached out to Instagram Help Centre and managed to pull one of them down. But it was too late to block the other one, as it had been circulated widely by Janhvi and Ishaan's fan clubs by then. The video was from the Jaipur schedule of 'Dhadak' that took place a few months ago."

Another source added, "Since the film is a remake of 'Sairat', the plot is already known. So, it is crucial for Shashank to guard the film's look to keep the mystery around the movie alive. Since many scenes are being shot outdoors, the producers are working on procuring permissions to cordon off the area where they are shooting. After all, the videos in question were leaked by the fans who had queued up on set."

Shashank said, "It's unfortunate that people leak footage. We can only do so much to protect our product, but with outdoor schedules, it is difficult for us. Everyone around has a camera phone. Kis kis ko roke? It would be nice if people were more supportive." Stay tuned for more updates.
