Siddhant Chaturvedi Says He Shot Half Of Dhadak 2 Without Knowing The Title: 'Ishaan Khatter Told Me...'
Siddhant Chaturvedi revealed that he had already shot half of Dhadak 2 before finding out the film's title. It's not every day that an actor finds out the title of his own film from someone outside the set. But that's exactly what happened to Siddhant Chaturvedi while shooting Dhadak 2, one of this year's most eagerly awaited romantic dramas. The actor revealed that he had already filmed a major chunk of the movie without knowing it would eventually be titled Dhadak 2 — and the first person to break the news to him was none other than Dhadak star Ishaan Khatter. During a recent promotional event, Siddhant shared the unusual anecdote. 'He [Ishaan] was the one who told me before I knew, and I had already shot half of the film by then," the Gully Boy actor recalled with a laugh. 'Without me knowing, and he knows." The surprise revelation happened when Siddhant ran into Ishaan at a film screening. While Siddhant was caught off guard by the name, he had only glowing words for Ishaan's performance in the original Dhadak. 'He was fabulous in it," he said, applauding his co-star from Phone Bhoot, which also featured Katrina Kaif. Dhadak 2 stars Siddhant opposite Triptii Dimri in what's being described as an intense love story. Helmed by debutante director Shazia Iqbal and produced by Dharma Productions, the film serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2018 hit Dhadak, which introduced Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor to Bollywood. Unlike its predecessor, which was a remake of Sairat, Dhadak 2 adapts the critically acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018) for Hindi audiences. With a powerful premise, a fresh pairing, and the promise of emotionally charged storytelling, Dhadak 2 is all set to hit theatres on August 1, 2025. Meanwhile, Siddhant has the spotlight with this upcoming release, while Ishaan's Homebound — which premiered at Cannes 2025 — continues to garner attention globally.

Munawar Faruqui Has No Regrets For Losing Out On Darlings, Phone Bhoot
Last Updated: Munawar Faruqui's latest series is set in the 1990s and revolves around Arif, whose street-smart instincts led him into the murky world of cinema piracy. Munawar Faruqui has made his OTT debut with Farhan P Zamma's series First Copy. Munawar, who won hearts in Bigg Boss 17, is enthralling fans with this Amazon MX Player original. In the latest, the actor-comedian discussed his early attempts to break into Bollywood. He revealed that he once auditioned for minor roles in big-budget films but was glad that he did not get them. In conversation with Zoom, Munawar admitted that acting has always been his first love and he dreamed of becoming a hero. Munawar added that he had been auditioning for films long before he became famous. While offers did come in, they were mainly for small positions, far from the type of work he aspired to. When asked what films he auditioned for, Munawar replied Katrina Kaif's Phone Bhoot and Alia Bhatt's Darlings. He said, 'One role required me to play a dead man who appeared for barely a minute. In another role, I was required to sit in a pharmacy, simply asking a helper to hand out medicine." These were not the kind of roles he wanted to do, but still went for the audition. Although he never turned down work, he never aggressively sought these positions. He believes the casting teams made the proper selections. Later, when he saw the roles once the film was released, he was glad about not getting selected. He admitted, 'Main khud se auditions dene jane se hichkichata tha. Mujhe lagta tha main ready nahi hoon." Munawar went on to only pursue possibilities that came directly to him. He didn't know how to improvise or own a character during auditions at the time, but he continued trying. Munawar's latest series is set in the 1990s and revolves around Arif, a vibrant and sharp-witted young man whose street-smart instincts led him into the murky world of cinema piracy. The show also stars Krystle D'Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq and Raza Murad. First Published:
