Mark your calendars—Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is officially set to hit theatres on August 1, 2025. The much-anticipated romantic drama is directed by the talented Shazia Iqbal and will be presented by Zee Studios, Dharma Productions, and Cloud9 Pictures.
After weeks of speculation and mounting excitement, the makers dropped the release date along with a striking motion poster on social media. Produced by an ensemble of cinematic powerhouses—Karan Johar, Umesh Kumar Bansal, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Meenu Aroraa, Somen Mishra, and Pragati Deshmukh—Dhadak 2 promises a fresh and fearless take on love, caste, and identity in contemporary India.
Dhadak Legacy Continues with New Chapter
Though Dhadak (2018) showcased Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in its Sairat reimagining, Dhadak 2 steers the franchise toward a bolder, more grounded path. According to sources close to the production, the film is not a sequel in the traditional sense, but a spiritual successor with an entirely new story, cast, and setting.
Director Shazia Iqbal makes her feature film debut with Dhadak 2. Iqbal is set to bring a more socially conscious and realistic tone to the romantic drama, exploring themes of love across societal boundaries with unflinching honesty.
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri Spark On-Screen Magic
The casting of Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri has already generated massive buzz. Known for his breakout role in Gully Boy and more recently Gehraiyaan, Siddhant brings depth, vulnerability, and raw emotion to his characters.
Triptii Dimri, riding high after her praised performances in Qala and Animal, has quickly become one of the most promising female stars of her generation. Her nuanced screen presence and powerful acting are expected to elevate Dhadak 2 to a whole new level.
Their fresh pairing is being touted as one of the most exciting casting choices of 2025, with fans already celebrating their chemistry after a brief teaser was shared online.
Dhadak 2 Receives U/A Certificate with 16 Cuts
Reports indicate that “Dhadak 2” has received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after undergoing 16 cuts. These modifications reportedly include changes to dialogues and visuals, particularly those with political references or comparisons to public figures. This certification allows the film to be viewed by audiences of all ages, with parental guidance advised for those under 12, ensuring a broader reach for its important message.
Strategic August Release Targeted at Youth Audiences
The choice of August 1, 2025, for release is strategic, placing Dhadak 2 just ahead of the Independence Day holiday period, allowing for extended weekend collections and capturing the attention of young cinema-goers during the festive season.
The film’s pan-India marketing campaign is set to launch in full swing by June 2025, with city tours, song releases, and social media engagement featuring prominently.
