Dhadak is an official remake of the Marathi blockbuster film 'Sairat' that became the first regional language film to join the 100 crore club. Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar starrer was directed by Nagraj Manjule. Moreover, this will be Janhvi Kapoor's debut whereas Ishan Khatter earlier acted in Majid Majidi's 'Beyond the Clouds'.

In an interview earlier Dhadak director Shashank Khaitan said, "The basic premise is of differences in caste, honour killing and what it means to survive in that world and I feel that is the conflict that is alive all across India, you will hear stories like that. So in that sense, the basic premise (of Dhadak and Sairat) is same. But there are variations."
