Dhadak director Shashank Khaitan says that he is impressed by the professional commitment of the film’s lead actress Janhvi Kapoor, a debutante, who finished shooting it on time, even after the sudden demise of her mother and legendary actress Sridevi.
“I think the whole credit goes to Janhvi and her family who supported me to finish the shoot of my film. I was ready to go back on set whenever Janhvi felt emotionally ready because at that time, for all of us, nothing was more important than her emotional security. But I am more than impressed to see her professionalism,” Khaitan told IANS.
Sridevi had passed away on February 24 when the shooting of Dhadak was still going on. “Even we were heartbroken. Imagine what she went through,” recalled the director.

“So my immediate question was not when will we be able to finish the film, but how will she recover from her emotional loss. I think on the 13th day, she geared up to shoot and I was so impressed,” he added.
