After creating buzz about the Bollywood debut of Sridevi's daughter Janhvi Kapoor, ace-fimmaker Karan Johar has finally announced her debut with his upcoming production Dhadak.
The movie will also launch Shahid Kapoor's brother Ishaan Khattar on the big screen. Interestingly, it's been a while since the reports of Ishaan and Janhvi romancing each other on silver screen have been doing the rounds.
Finally, KJo made an official announcement about the same on micro-blogging site Twitter. Johar shared a video of himself announcing the launch of Janhvi and Ishaan by Dharma productions and stated, “Five years ago, Sidharth, Varun and Alia joined the Dharma family. And as we speak, they are scintillating stars of the movie industry. We are about to extend our family. We are about to present two actors, the details would be out at 5 pm. It is by the director of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. What’s the name of the film? Well, let me just give you a hint – My heart is beating faster.â€
