Arjun Kapoor: Dhadak reminds me of Ishaqzaade days

Arjun Kapoor says the trailer of his half-sister Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter's upcoming film, Dhadak, makes him nostalgic. The actor, who made his Bollywood debut with Ishaqzaade (2012), says looking at the response to the trailer of the Shashank Khaitan-directed film, he can now understand how people must have reacted to the rushes of his first film.

"When I see the rushes of Dhadak, I realise this is how people must have seen my debut trailer. I was in that trailer, and I didn't get any sense at that time. Today, six years later, I can be objective about how people experienced Parma [played by Kapoor] and Zoya [essayed by Parineeti Chopra]," said Kapoor on the sidelines of IIFA.

He added, "Ishaan and Janhvi look amazing together, and Shashank is a dear friend. We worked on Ishaqzaade. He has turned out to be a perfect choice to bring out the energy from these two actors. I am happy people are liking the trailer and the songs."

Dhadak is a remake of the Marathi blockbuster Sairat (2016), about two doomed lovers of different castes.
