Mumbai, October 8 - After directing Janhvi Kapoor in her debut film "Dhadak", an acclaimed filmmaker, Shashank Khaitan, is now gearing to helm Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor's daughter and Janhvi's cousin, Shanaya Kapoor in her debut film for Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Earlier, in March this year, Karan Johar had announced his plans to launch Shanaya in Bollywood and had also reportedly roped Paras Chakravarti to direct the film. However, according to peeping moon, Karan Johar has now asked Khaitan to don director's hat for Shanaya's launch, after a mutual decision.



Karan Johar will also launch Guilty actor Gurfateh Pirzada and newbie Lakshya Lalwani alongside Shanaya in this film, which is said to be a light-hearted, urban triangle love story. Lakshya Lalwani was earlier supposed to make his debut with KJo's Dostana 2 co-starring Janhvi Kapoor.

It is said that Shanaya, Gurfateh, and Lakshya have attended several acting workshops over the last seven months and the shooting of the film finally kick off in December this year. The movie was supposed to go on floors in July but the second-19 wave put Johar's plans to take the film on floors to rest.

Shashank Khaitan, on the other hand, has reportadly completed his yet-untitled rom-com starring Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani, and Bhoomi Pednekar. It was earlier planned with Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Bhumi Pednekar under the title Mr. Lele before it was indefinitely put on the backburner over script issues.
