Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar in Dhadak

When Karan Johar announced Dhadak - the remake of the Marathi hit Sairat (2016) - he knew that reimagining the popular dance number, Zingaat, would be a tall order. Not surprising then that the filmmaker trusted only his good friend Farah Khan with the choreography of the song that features the film's leads, Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor.

The dance number that was filmed in late January saw Khan returning to choreography after Gerua (Dilwale, 2015). When asked what made her return to her first love, Khan said, "Karan said that his director Shashank [Khaitan] was scared to call me, and that he really wants me to do a song for the movie. The minute he said that the song in question is Zingaat, I told him that I won't do it because it's a cult song."
