'Dhadak' is an official remake of the hit-Marathi movie 'Sairat' directed by Nagraj Manjule. The Hindi remake is being helmed by Shashank Khaitan, previously known for directing 'Badrinath ki Dulhania'.

The film was announced when Karan unveiled the poster of the movie on November 15.

Sridevi's daughter will be facing the camera for the first time with this film. However, Shahid Kapoor's brother has already worked in Majid Majidi's film 'Beyond The Clouds.'

The film is a co-production between Zee Studios and Dharma Productions and was earlier scheduled to be released on July 6, 2018.
