Ishaan Khatter to romance Janhvi Kapoor in Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi remake of Dear Comrade?

After the immense success of Kabir Singh, a Hindi remake of Vijay Deverakonda's Arjun Reddy, Karan Johar got the rights of the South superstar's next film Dear Comrade even before its official release. Karan Johar, who has an array of films in the pipeline, is planning to bring back the Dhadak pair Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter with a romantic thriller.

Ishaan Khatter to romance Janhvi Kapoor in Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi remake of Dear Comrade?

If the reports are to be believed, Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter are the first choice for the remake of Dear Comrade. Janhvi made her debut alongside Ishaan in Shashank Khaitan's Dhadak in 2018. It would be interesting to see the two stars come together. Also, interestingly, Janhvi Kapoor is a big fan of Vijay Deverakonda.

However, Karan had clarified that casting for the film is underway. "All the best and big success to the team of #DearComradeOnJuly26th ! Also a CLARIFICATION! No lead actors have been considered or approached for the film as yet! The planning for this lovely film is underway!," he wrote on Twitter.
