Jhanvi-Ishaan still unconfirmed for ‘Sairat’ remake?

The speculation continues surrounding future star kids – Ishaan Khattar and Jhanvi Kapoor, who are apparently undergoing rigorous training in preparation for their Bollywood debut. Recently BizAsiaLive.com had reported that there is a strong possibility that Sridevi’s eldest could be cast in Karan Johar’s remake of Nagraj Manjule’s ‘Sairat’ (2016), but it seems this is still unconfirmed.

According to Deccan Chronicle, Johar will launch both Kapoor and Khattar, but is still keeping tight-lipped about the ‘Sairat’ project since getting the rights to the Marathi blockbuster. A close friend of Johar says, “Karan is not even thinking of who will star in the Hindi remake of Sairat. Whether he will make it as stark a realistic drama as the original in Marathi, or spruce it up and cast glamorous newcomer remains to be seen. So, there’s no question of casting anyone yet.”

The source further added that it is unlikely that Kapoor and Khattar will be paired together on screen. “Ishaan and Jhanvi don’t look compatible on screen. I think Karan would rather cast them separately in different films. Right now, it’s too early to say which way their launch film will go.”
