Filmmaker Karan Johar has thrilled fans by announcing his new film, “Dhadak 2,” which will star Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. This news comes as a surprise to many, especially since Johar had previously denied that his production company, Dharma Productions, was working on a sequel to “Dhadak.”
Karan Johar took to Instagram on Monday to reveal a motion poster for “Dhadak 2.” The poster features Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in an intimate pose, hinting at a romantic storyline. The film, directed by Shazia Iqbal, is set to hit theaters on November 22, 2024.
The Motion Poster and Dialogue
The motion poster not only shows the chemistry between the lead actors but also includes a voiceover that gives a glimpse into the emotional depth of their characters. Siddhant’s character, Neelesh, says, “Jo Sapna tum dekh rahi ho Vidhi usme mere liye koi jagah nahi hai (The dream that you have Vidhi, there is no place for me in it).” To this, Triptii’s character, Vidhi, responds, “Toh phir yeh bhi bata do Neelesh ki in feelings ka kya karun (Then let me know Neelesh, what should I do with my feelings)?” This exchange hints at a complex relationship dynamic that will likely be explored in the film.
Karan Johar’s Previous Denial
Interestingly, this announcement comes more than a year after Karan Johar publicly denied that “Dhadak 2” was in the works. Last year, rumors began circulating that Dharma Productions was making “Dhadak 2” with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. In response, Karan took to Instagram Stories to clarify, “To put this on the record and for all concerned, we (Dharma Productions) are NOT making a film with the title DHADAK 2 as is being reported in various articles…”
The Journey to the Sequel
“Dhadak,” released in 2018, was a significant hit and marked the debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The film was a remake of the Marathi blockbuster “Sairat” and dealt with themes of love and social issues. Given its success, there was always speculation about a sequel. However, the official confirmation from Karan Johar has now set the stage for what promises to be an engaging continuation of the story.
What to Expect from “Dhadak 2”
With Shazia Iqbal at the helm as director, “Dhadak 2” is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the story. Fans are eager to see how the narrative evolves with Siddhant and Triptii in the lead roles. Their chemistry and the storyline hinted at in the motion poster suggest that the film will delve deep into the complexities of love and relationships.
Karan Johar’s announcement of “Dhadak 2” has generated significant buzz and anticipation among fans and film enthusiasts. With Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri set to bring their unique talents to the screen, and Shazia Iqbal directing, the film is poised to be a notable release in November 2024. As we wait for more details and the official trailer, the excitement for “Dhadak 2” continues to build.
