Will Sridevi  Make A Guest Appearance In Her Daughter’s Debut?

There  is a strong buzz around  Karan  Johar’s  production house that the  mighty Sridevi is likely to make  a cameo  appearance  in her darling daughter Jahnvi’s  debut film Dhadak.

Says a source  close to the  development,  “The role of  the girl’s  mother  in  this film is brief but  very important.And  the  woman must look graceful dignified and be able to express her love for her rebellious daughter and be able to stand up for her  against the father who is vehemently opposed to her  daughter marrying a boy from a socio-economically backward section. Srideviji will add a completely  new dimension to the plot.”

While the Diva’s yes is awaited to this  alluring prospect  of seeing the  legendary mother lending celluloid succour and sustenance  to her daughter’s debut, we can safely say that Karan Johar’s take on Manjul Nagraj’s Sairat will be be very different  from the original.

Says a  source in the know, “Karan Johar has selected Shashank Khaitan to direct Dhadak because Khaitan  understands small town romances.He has done done them in HumptySharma  Ki Dulhaniya and Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya. Karan wants  the rich-poor romance to remain.And the smalltown setting would remain. However the  look of  the film would be upscaled drastically. The original Marathi film had two workingclass newcomers who  played youngsters from villagers. Sridevi’s daughter can’t be launched  like Rinku Rajguru in Sairat. Sridevi and Boney Kapoor  wanted  a glamorous lavish launch  for their daughter.They were  very clear on that.”
