Everyone is congratulating Shanaya Kapoor, who is set to make her Bollywood debut with director Shashank Khaitan’s Bedhadak that also stars newbies Lakshya and Gurfateh Singh Pirzada. But the film’s announcement left us wondering about the fate of Dono Mile Iss Tarah. Let’s quickly jog your memory: Khaitan’s Dono Mile Iss Tarah, featuring the three newcomers, was slated to go on floors last July, but was deferred due to the pandemic. Last December, the project got pushed further when Shanaya tested positive for COVID-19. An industry source says that with the film slated to be shot overseas, the logistics and budget were not working out. So, the bosses at Dharma Productions apparently aborted the plan, and opted for a commercially feasible subject. Guess Dono Mile Iss Tarah can be made later, when the three actors become stars in their own right.
