The film directed by Shashank Khaitan is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and presented by Zee Studios.

Dhadak, one of the most anticipated films of the year narrated the tale of Madhukar and Parthavi, two young lovers, who face all odds to stay together.

The Marathi version of the film directed by Nagraj Manjule too had two new actors. Rinku Rajguru played the female lead while Akash Thosar essayed the hero.

Sairat went on to create history by becoming the first Marathi film to garner over Rs 100 crore at the Box Office.

Dhadak, though it was based on Sairat, had its own distinct appeal. Sairat was set in the backdrop of Maharashtra while Dhadak had a Rajasthani flavour.
