Filmmaker Karan Johar has cleared the air and announced that no lead actors have been considered or approached for the Hindi remake of Telugu film 'Dear Comrade'. There were several reports doing the rounds recently that suggested that Karan will be signing actors Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor in the Hindi remake.
The filmmaker tweeted: “All the best and big success to the team of Dear Comrade on July 26! Also a clarification! No lead actors have been considered or approached for the film as yet.” He stressed that the planning for the film is still in progress. "The planning for this lovely film is underway," he added. Karan announced last week that he will be producing the Hindi remake of Vijay Deverekonda's Telugu film 'Dear Comrade'.
He took to Twitter to praise the film, and tweeted, "Had the pleasure to be the first to see Dear Comrade. What a powerful and intense love story! Top notch performances by Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna. The film is exceptionally moving and leaves you with such an important and relevant message". He added that he was “super excited” to produce the project under his production banner Dharma Productions.
