The Hindi version marked Bollywood debut of Kapoor, daughter of late actor Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, while it was Khatter''s second film after Majid Majidi-directed drama "Beyond the Clouds". Kapoor, 24, shared photographs from the sets and said the film will always hold a special place in her heart.
“#Dhadak Always special. For the people, the memories, the lessons and all of the love,” she wrote.
Khatter, 25, too shared behind-the-scenes pictures from the film and wrote, “3 years of dhadak!!! Will remain a special one for all of us who worked on it.. And to the fans, thank you for all the love that pours in still for the film, I see you all.”
