The much-awaited romantic drama Dhadak 2 is all set to hit the screens, and fans can't stop talking about the intense chemistry between Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi. Their performances in the trailer have already created a buzz, with many praising their on-screen connection. Speaking about her experience working with Siddhant, Triptii said that they got along well from the very beginning. She credited their director, Shazia Iqbal, for helping the actors form a strong bond before the cameras even rolled.
'We had become quite good friends right from the very first day, and all the credit for that goes to our director, Shazia Iqbal,' Triptii told ANI. 'She organised a workshop for us in a format where all the actors interacted, played games for about 5-6 days, and tried to understand each other. I think when that happens, you don't need to try and force chemistry. You actually become friends, and that's what happened in our case,' she added.
In the same interaction, Siddhant opened up about the choices he makes as an actor and how he doesn't want to limit himself to just one kind of role. He said, 'I always work on playing a different character every time. We enjoy it as actors. It's not like if people like you in a certain character, you just stick to doing that. Because if that were the case, I would have kept doing similar roles even after my first film.'
'But I always think that I want to do different kinds of roles. As a person, as an actor, I want to grow. So, the effort is always to find a new character, because doing the same thing again doesn't bring joy,' he added.
'I feel like if you keep doing one kind of role, something you're known for, then you build a market for yourself. But as far as I am concerned, I've come to disrupt the market, not just build it. I want to break that. Every time, I want to appeal to a different age group, a different gender, different regions, demographics,' he further said.
The trailer for Dhadak 2 was unveiled last week, giving fans a glimpse of how Siddhant and Triptii fight for their love and life in a promising film that tackles caste discrimination. It also highlights themes of identity, power dynamics, and the painful emotional cost of love. The film follows Siddhant's character as he navigates a love story that breaks through societal expectations and class barriers.
Dhadak 2 is a follow-up to 2018's Dhadak and a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal.
