Back in 2003, when a young Naila Grrewal was crushing on Shahid Kapoor while watching Ishq Vishk, little did she know that she would be leading the adaptation of the film at 26. The Ken Ghosh-directed film launched and catapulted Kapoor to stardom. Taking from the 2003 film, Ishq Vishk Rebound—also featuring Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, and Jibraan Khan—follows the lives of four young people who become tangled in the web of friendship, love, and self-discovery. “I have watched Ishq Vishk several times and had a huge crush on Shahid Kapoor growing up. To have the opportunity to helm the new adaptation of this iconic rom-com is truly a dream come true. It is a wonderful opportunity to revisit a beloved classic and put a modern twist on it for audiences to enjoy,” shares Grrewal of the film directed by Nipun Avinash Dharmadhikari.
