Director Shashank Khaitan says it was important to help Janhvi Kapoor get through the personal tragedy of losing her mother, veteran actor Sridevi, to fulfil his professional commitments towards Dhadak. Kapoor resumed shooting for her debut within 13 days of Sridevi's demise this February, the filmmaker said.

"It was very important not just for me but for my entire team to isolate what had happened as a personal tragedy and get back to filmmaking in a professional way. Everything I felt at that point was dealt on a personal level. Credit to Janhvi and her family on how they dealt with it.
