Earlier this year, following a report that suggested Alia Bhatt, who starred in both Dulhania films, would be replaced by Janhvi Kapoor in Dulhania 3, Karan Johar appeared to respond to the allegation. He requested that the media refrain from speculating about the upcoming film.

Sharing on Instagram Stories, Karan wrote, “Every morning I wake up to news that is not an official confirmation by Dharma Productions… would request members of the media to please not conjecture about the continuance of a franchise or the beginning of one! We will give details when the time and plans are formulated and fructified! We are humbled by the excitement shown to our future films but would love to have accuracy instead of speculation… Respectfully, Karan Johar.”
Karan appeared to be responding to a report by PeepingMoon.com stating that Alia will not be in Dulhania 3. Instead, Janhvi Kapoor has been cast as the new Dulhania opposite Varun Dhawan, who also starred in the previous two Dulhania films. According to the portal, Shashank Khaitan will be directing Dulhania 3. The film is said to feature a unique plot and characters, completely separate from the previous installments.
