While Sidharth Malhotra Varun Dhawan have been confirmed as Ram and Lakhan in Dharma Productions, Ram Lakhan remake, the leading are yet to be finalized.
The original cast has Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Madhuri Dixit and was directed by Subhash Ghai. When Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty joined hands for the remake of the classic film a year back, he confirmed that the cast would be from the young line of B-towners. And when Sid and Varun were finalized conjectures were being made that the heroines would be young ones too. Two names that are doing most rounds are of Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor.
"People keep forgetting that along with being a two-hero film, it's also a two-heroine project. Producer Karan Johar is keen on Shraddha Kapoor for Madhuri's role. He's very impressed with her performence in ABCD 2." "Shraddha's riding high on her back-to-back successes and Alia Bhatt is one of Karan's favrouites. So both of them are the toughest contenders for the role. But nothing has been finalised", added the source.
But Shraddha has different reaction when told that she is being considered. She laughed and said, "Really! Am I? I am not in talks with them for this film. No one has approached me yet but i would love to do a film with Dharma.
