The actress said, "It should reach the maximum audience because it's entertaining and also leaves a little note, so that is something which we are constantly looking for. We found that equilibrium... There is something real and sensitive about it ('Dhadak 2'). All of these guys have more responsibility, and they are very well aware of that. That's why they have been very quiet about everything, like while we were shooting for the film, even the censor board issues, we never spoke about anything." Dhadak 2 is directed by Shazia Iqbal. The film is a sequel to Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor's debut film Dhadak.
