The makers of Dhadak have released the latest song titled Pehli Baar featuring the lead pair, Ishaan Khattar and Janhvi Kapoor. The song is recreated from the Marathi version, Yad Lagla from Sairat.
Sung by Ajay Gogavale, who also lent his voice for the original version, Pehli Baar is a celebration of “first love” between the lead pair. Penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the soulful track shows a besotted Ishaan expressing his love for Janhvi in picturesque Rajasthan.
There has been huge buzz around Dhadak before its release and Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor are being considered as promising stars among the media and audience.
When asked how he feels when people look at him as a future star, Ishaan Khatter said, "I will not say that I have become a star before the release of the film but it feels nice when audience appreciate what they are seeing in the promos of the film. When people support us, our hope increases as they will go to watch the film in theatres.
"I really hope when audience watch the film, they realize that it is a sincere adaptation and it's a unique film in its own way. We have been really honest while making this film and we have sacrificed our blood, sweat and tears while making it. So, I hope our efforts will connect with the audience," he said.
Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Dhadak releases on 20 July.
