Earlier reports had claimed that he will be launched by Karan Johar in Student Of The Year 2, followed by rumours that he will feature in The Fault In Our Stars remake opposite Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan.
And now buzz is, it will be the Hindi remake of Sairat. Though the original was a love story set in rural Maharashtra marred by the forces of caste and class, both Jhanvi and Ishaan are slick city kids.
