Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi recently took to social media to share a heartfelt post from Bhopal, writing, “Iss sheher mein meri Dhadhak basti hai 😉❤️” — a poetic nod to both the city, where his upcoming film Dhadak 2, has been shot.
The post features Siddhant soaking in the timeless charm of Bhopal — from strolling by the iconic Upper Lake to indulging in the city’s local flavours. With a warm cup of chai in hand,and his quirky Labubu toy by his side, the actor seems completely at ease, blending into the city’s rhythm. The overcast weather and serene lake view lend a cinematic charm to the frame, while Siddhant’s relaxed vibe reflects an artist drawing inspiration from his surroundings.
The first look poster of Dhadak 2 is out, and it has taken everyone by storm, sparking massive anticipation among fans of Siddhant Chaturvedi. Showcasing a refreshing blend of romance and raw emotion, the poster teases a deeply passionate love story that marks a significant departure in Siddhant’s filmography.
For the first time in his career, the actor steps into the shoes of a pure, intense romantic lead. Adding to the excitement is the much-talked-about fresh pairing of Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri, whose chemistry in the first look has already begun turning heads and fueling expectations.
Dhadak 2 Cleared by CBFC — But With 16 Cuts and Major Content Changes
The long-awaited film Dhadak 2 starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri is now officially cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) — but such clearance came with a lot of conditions. The Hindi adaptation of the 2018 Tamil film, Pariyerum Perumal, had 16 cuts made to it, all pertaining to the politically resonant and caste-based references that have been either muted, reworded, or completely omitted.
Dhadak 2 was previously set to arrive in November 2024 but experienced several delays, meaning it is long overdue. Dhadak 2 now is rated U/A in category 16+, so the film should be on its way to a theatre near you — although the narrative has taken a significant shift.
Expanded Disclaimer and Religious Edits Did Also Happen
An earlier 20-second disclaimer is now a farcical 1 minute 51 second voiceover — claimed the CBFC would not disclose what would actually be included. Additionally, a Tulsidas doha was replaced with a Bihari-style couplet — this is understood as a shift in devotional vs secular thematic messaging.
Despite these edits, Dhadak 2 is clocking a very great distance from the original’s steadfast tone, presumably in hope of addressing emotional sensitivities of a mainstream Hindi-speaking audience — and concerned officials.
