However, the documentary type of feel might not cater to the commercial prospects of the remake. Finally, Karan Johar is going to remake it in Hindi and yesteryear diva, Sridevi’s elder daughter Jhanvi Kapoor will be essaying the female lead role and this will be her debut movie in Bollywood.

Another star hero’s brother Ishaan, brother of Shahid Kapoor is also going to be launched with this movie. The original is based on the love story between a higher caste and a lower caste youngsters.
