Well, recently some pictures and a video from the sets of the film was leaked, and this has surely made the film’s team worried as the actors’ looks are revealed. A source from the production told Mid-day, “When the team found out about the leaked videos on Saturday night, it promptly reached out to Instagram Help Centre and managed to pull one of them down. But it was too late to block the other one, as it had been circulated widely by Janhvi and Ishaan’s fan clubs by then. The video was from the Jaipur schedule of ‘Dhadak’ that took place a few months ago.”

Another source has revealed that the phones are banned on the sets of the film now. The crew has handed over their phones before entering the sets, and even the makers are planning to keep fans away from the sets. The source said, “Since the film is a remake of ‘Sairat’, the plot is already known. So, it is crucial for Shashank to guard the film’s look to keep the mystery around the movie alive. Since many scenes are being shot outdoors, the producers are working on procuring permissions to cordon off the area where they are shooting. After all, the videos in question were leaked by the fans who had queued up on set.”

Director, Shashank Khaitan stated, “It’s unfortunate that people leak footage. We can only do so much to protect our product, but with outdoor schedules, it is difficult for us. Everyone around has a camera phone. Kis kis ko roke? It would be nice if people were more supportive.”
