Just days back Karan Johar introduced Janhvi Kapoor in three posters of upcoming film 'Dhadak' where the new-bee will star alongside Ishaan Khatter. However, the buzz now is that Sridevi herself might cameo in the movie too and as none other than Janhvi's mother. The starlet was reportedly approached by Karan Johar's production house to play the part in her daughter's debut film.
A source said, “The role of the girl’s mother in this film is brief but very important. And the woman must look graceful, dignified and be able to express her love for her rebellious daughter and be able to stand up for her against the father, who is vehemently opposed to her daughter marrying a boy from a socio-economically backward section. Srideviji will add a completely new dimension to the plot.” However, Sridevi hasn't confirmed anything yet.
In regards to Shashank Khaitan directing the film, a source said, “Karan Johar has selected Shashank Khaitan to direct 'Dhadak' because Khaitan understands small town romances. He has done it in 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya' and 'Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya'. Karan wants the rich-poor romance to remain. And the small town setting would remain as well. However, the look of the film would be upscaled drastically. The original Marathi film had two working-class newcomers who played youngsters from villagers. Sridevi’s daughter can’t be launched like Rinku Rajguru in 'Sairat'. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor wanted a glamorous, lavish launch for their daughter. They were very clear on that.” And we can safely say that Karan Johar’s 'Dhadak' will be quite different from the original Manjul Nagraj’s 'Sairat'.
