This will be Ishaan’s second film after his debut in Majid Majidi’s Beyond the Clouds. His first film is still in the making.
However, neither Dharma Productions nor Sridevi has confirmed the news. Nonetheless, the two young actors have been spotted together in the recent time, which adds spark in the fire.
Ishaan and Jhanvi are among the most talked about star kids and have a huge fan following on social media. It will be interesting to see the fresh pairing of these two in this musical romance.
Marathi film Sairat is a musical romantic drama which was directed by Nagraj Manjule. The film introduced young actors Akash Thosar and Rinku Rajguru. It became the first Marathi film to gross over Rs. 100 crore worldwide, and also ran for more than 100 days in cinemas.
