"It's a new year which means new beginnings and time for new relationship goals... Dear Janhvi and Ishaan, you are going to embark on a new journey of stardom this year. You will face many firsts in 2018 from promotion to paparazzi to link-ups and trolling to fame and failures. You are going to see it all. Through all of this, I just want to remind you to not take yourself too seriously and absorb every new experience because these initial days will never come back again," he had written.

On constant comparisons of Janhvi Kapoor with Sridevi, producer Boney Kapoor had earlier said that his debutante daughter has an individual style and is not trying to be like the late actress. “Janhvi has her own individuality. Fortunately, she is not trying to be (like) her mom. She is trying to be herself which is good. She (Sridevi) has been an iconic figure so more so being her daughter why should Janhvi ape her," he had said.

Meanwhile, Ishaan Khatter, who is also making his debut in Bollywood with Dhadak, shared an adorable picture with his co-star Janhvi Kapoor on his official Instagram. "Driving her (coco) nuts," he captioned the image.
Ahead of the release of Dhadak trailer, Janhvi Kapoor's brother Arjun Kapoor took to social media to share a heartwarming post for her. The 2 States actor began the post by apologizing to Janhvi for his inability to be present for the launch of her film's trailer and advised her to “work hard, be honest, learn to take the accolades with the brickbats, respect opinions” factors which would eventually help her find the profession of acting "amazing"
Dhadak shoot got over a while back and the post-production is on its way to completion. Now that the wait is almost over for the Dhadak trailer, director-producer Karan Johar took to Twitter to share another still from the film.
Expressing his excitement over the project, Karan Johar said, "we are honoured and excited to collaborate with Zee Studios on the official adaptation of the immensely celebrated and loved 'Sairat'. 'Dhadak' is Shashank’s third film post his Dulhania series and a true labour of love. We present Janhvi and Ishaan to the world today and can’t wait for the viewers to experience their innocence and magic on celluloid."
