Karan Johar today said that Shahid Kapoor's brother Ishaan Khatter and veteran actress Sridevi's daughter Janhvi Kapoor have embarked on their Dhadak journey.

Karan is backing the film, an adaptation of the acclaimed Marathi film Sairat, through his banner Dharma Productions. 

"The journey of Dhadak begins today! Janhvi and Ishaan, Shashank Khaitan (director of the film)," Karan commented, sharing an image in which the lead pair is seen sitting against the railing as they face their backs to the camera. 

The film is being shot in Udaipur as it has Rajasthan as the backdrop. Sridevi has also joined Janhvi on the sets of her first movie.

While Dhadak will mark Janhvi's foray into Bollywood, Ishaan is making his acting debut with Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi's India-set movie Beyond The Clouds. Dhadak is scheduled for release in July next year.
