Ishaan Khatter Reunites with Janhvi Kapoor in New Photo

The photograph appears to have been taken in connection with an advertisement, though Khatter has not publicly confirmed the nature of the project.

The image revived memories of their successful on-screen pairing in Dhadak, released in 2018. Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures, the romantic drama was the official Hindi remake of Nagraj Manjule’s Marathi film Sairat (2016). It marked Kapoor’s debut as a lead actress and Khatter’s first outing as a solo lead.

Dhadak released on July 20, 2018, a few months after the death of Kapoor’s mother, Sridevi, in February that year. The chemistry between the two young actors was widely noted and established them as one of the more talked-about fresh pairings of that year.

Beyond the film, Khatter and Kapoor have remained friends and have appeared together at industry events over the years. They were most recently seen on screen in Neeraj Ghaywan’s Homebound, which also starred Vishal Jethwa.

Khatter began his career as a child actor in Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi! (2005) before making his adult debut in Majid Majidi’s Beyond the Clouds (2017). The latest shared photograph adds another public moment to a professional relationship that began with Dhadak and has continued intermittently across films and appearances.
