Just as things were about to get out of hand, Karan Johar turned to social media to reveal a poster for the upcoming movie that featured the actors and declared that the movie was definitely on schedule.

The movie, which is a Karan Johar production, also features Gurfateh Pirzada and Lakshya Lalwani. Recent rumours suggested that Bedhadak may have been put on hold. However, Karan Johar announced on social media that the movie will begin production in the first half of next year. Additionally, the director-producer released a brand-new movie poster with Shanaya, Lakshya, and Gurfateh.
Sharing the poster, Karan wrote, “@shanayakapoor02 @gurfatehpirzada @itslakshya all set to storm the screens next year! Shooting commences first half of next year !!!! #BEDHADAK!!!! (sic).”
Red hearts were left on Karan Johar’s confirmation post by members of the Kapoor family including Shanaya Kapoor’s parents, Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, and Anil and Sunita Kapoor.
