Dhadak 2: Siddhant Chaturvedi says he is ‘very excited’ for upcoming movie co-starring Triptii Dimri; ‘I hope Karan Johar…’

Siddhant Chaturvedi, most recently starring in Yudhra, disclosed that his upcoming film Dhadak 2 allows him to reconnect with his roots. During a recent gathering in the capital city, he explained that this project provides an opportunity for him to break free from the mold of urban-centric roles he often receives and expressed his enthusiasm for the movie. However, he also mentioned, “I’m hoping Karan Johar is tuned in.

During an interview with NDTV about his forthcoming movie, Siddhant Chaturvedi shared his excitement about announcing the film’s launch date, playfully suggesting that he hoped Karan Johar was tuned in to hear it.

He noted that Dhadak 2 carries a strong and grounded narrative, representing a shift away from the urban characters he typically portrays. Hailing from the humble town of Ballia in Uttar Pradesh, Chaturvedi expressed his excitement about this chance to delve into such a genre for the first time.

Apart from sharing his eagerness for the project, he commended the script and spoke passionately about collaborating with Triptii Dimri. While he remained secretive about specifics, he subtly suggested that the trailer would be unveiled this year, expressing hopefulness by mentioning that he was keeping his fingers crossed.

The upcoming movie titled “Dhadak 2” is a romantic drama, written and directed by Shazia Iqbal, and produced by Dharma Productions. This film is a spiritual sequel to “Dhadak,” which was based on the critically-acclaimed Marathi film “Sairat.

In May 2024, it was officially announced that Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi would star as Vidisha and Neelesh in Dhadak 2. A teaser video for the film gave a peek into their love story, suggesting some hurdles they might encounter. However, there have been rumors that the movie is experiencing problems with securing CBFC certification because of its touchy caste-related subject matter.

As per Bollywood Hungama’s report, Dhadak 2 delves into caste-related matters using a potent and emotional storyline. The Film Certification Board’s Examining Committee has commended the filmmakers for tackling such a sensitive subject, but they are now assessing the movie for certification and considering potential scene edits due to the sensitive and delicate nature of its content.

The original Dhadak marked the Bollywood debuts of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter.

Siddhant Chaturvedi garnered fame for his characterization of a young cricketer in the TV series Inside Edge on Amazon Prime Video (aired from 2017 to 2019). Subsequently, he ventured into films and left a lasting impact with his role as a street rapper alongside Ranveer Singh’s lead character in the movie Gully Boy, a musical drama.
