Dhadak 2: Siddhant Chaturvedi shot 'half' film without even knowing title and it has Ishaan Khatter connection
Siddhant Chaturvedi recalls shooting for Dhadak 2 as an untitled film
During the promotions of Dhadak 2, Siddhant Chaturvedi recently revealed that Dhadak 2 was an untitled project when he signed for the film. Siddhant shared that the movie went on the floors without having a title, and he and his co-star, Triptii Dimri, had no idea that it would be called Dhadak 2 later on.
Siddhant Chaturvedi learned about the title while meeting Ishaan Khatter
Siddhant Chaturvedi then remembered that he had met Ishaan Khatter at a movie screening. The Gully Boy actor recounted that he was surprised when Ishaan informed him about the title of Dhadak 2, as he wasn't aware of his own film, unlike the Dhadak star.
"...He was the one who told me before I knew, and I've gone and shot half of the script there. Without me knowing, and he knows," the Dhadak 2 actor shared.
Siddhant Chaturvedi also praised Ishaan Khatter's performance in Dhadak. He called him "fabulous" in the first installment of the Dhadak franchise. It is worth noting that they have worked together in the 2022 horror comedy, Phone Bhoot, co-starring Katrina Kaif.
Currently, Siddhant has Dhadak 2 on the horizon. Ishaan is yet to announce his next Bollywood project. His 2025 film, Homebound, premiered at the 2025 Cannes International Film Festival.

Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Triptii Dimri's movie fails to capture audience despite good reviews, mints...
Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Despite glowing reviews, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's starrer Dhadak 2 has failed to capture the audience. Released on Friday, August 1, the movie faced fierce competition from Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and the blockbuster hit Saiyaara. This seems to have affected the box office collection of Dhadak 2. Dhadak 2 is a follow-up to the 2018 Dhadak. It is a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 fell short of expectations. Opening at a meagre ₹ 3.5 crore, the movie could not improve its numbers on Saturday either. On day 2, Dhadak 2 earned ₹ 3.75 crore, taking its 2-day total to ₹ 7.25 crore. Son of Sardaar 2 is currently leading at the Indian box office with almost double the earnings. Its opening day collection stood at ₹ 7.5 crore, and it earned the same on Saturday, day 2. SOS 2's two-day collection stands at ₹ 14.75 crore. Dhadak 2 had an overall 25.81% Hindi occupancy on Saturday Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR and Lucknow emerged as top contributors in terms of occupancy. Hindustan Times said Dhadak 2 carries a powerful message but fumbles with its storytelling. 'It wants to speak about caste, oppression, and systemic injustice- and when it does, it hits the right notes. But it's weighed down by an uneven narrative and an overstretched runtime.' 'This could have been a hard-hitting social drama. Instead, it settles for moments of brilliance buried under a ton of missed opportunities,' they added. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave Dhadak 2 a 3.5 star rating and said, 'Sharp writing. Captivating, emotionally-charged second half... Solid performances. Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part.' He said that the first half feels uneven, 'a few impactful moments aside, the narrative takes time to find its footing… But the interval episode turns the tide, setting the stage for a gripping and emotionally charged second half.' IMDb describes Dhadak 2, directed by Shazia Iqbal, as 'A searing romantic drama about identity, power, and the cost of love in the world we live in.' The movie stars Saad Bilgrami, Manjiri Pupala, Richa, Vipin Sharma, Deeksha Joshi, Mayank Khanna, Aditya Thakare, Shantanu Pandey, Bala, Priyank Tiwari, Ashwant Lodhi and Amit Jaat in key roles.
