Siddhant Chaturvedi hints at Gully Boy 2-Dhadak 2 crossover with Ishaan Khatter

India Today17-07-2025
Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi recently hinted at one of Bollywood's biggest crossovers. In a recent interview, he suggested a possible role reversal between him and Ishaan Khatter in two of the industry's most talked-about franchises - 'Dhadak 2' and 'Gully Boy 2'.During an interview with the Varinder Chawla, Siddhant teased, 'Do you know Akshay Kumar from Ajnabee? It's like Dhadak 2 x Gully Boy 2,' hinting that while he leads 'Dhadak 2', Ishaan might be stepping into 'Gully Boy 2'.advertisementThe unexpected hint came while Siddhant was recounting how he found out about 'Dhadak 2's title, from none other than Ishaan Khatter himself. 'So what happened was, initially, I signed on the film, which was untitled at that time, and we didn't know that it was going to be called 'Dhadak 2'. We did not have a title,' he explained.

He continued, 'I met Ishaan at a screening which Zoya had kept for one of the films, and he said, 'Oh so you're doing 'Dhadak 2,' and I'm like no 'Dhadak 2'? He's like 'Ya your film's called 'Dhadak 2,' and I was like, 'Tujhe kaise pata, mujhe hi nahi pata. (How do you know? Even I didn't know!).'' Siddhant added that Ishaan somehow knew the title before he did, joking that he had already shot half the film without knowing it was officially 'Dhadak 2'.Praising Ishaan's performance in the original, Siddhant said, 'He's started the franchise, and he was fabulous in that. And I know this will at least, be at par.'There has been no official confirmation of 'Gully Boy 2' yet. The idea of Ishaan joining the 'Gully Boy' universe while Siddhant continues the 'Dhadak' journey feels like a full-circle moment for both actors. Siddhant made his mark as MC Sher in 'Gully Boy' (2019), while Ishaan's breakout came with 'Dhadak' (2018).Directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by Dharma Productions, 'Dhadak 2' stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri and is a remake of the acclaimed Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal'. The film addresses love across caste lines and the heartbreaking reality that follows.- Ends

This actor once gave tough competition to Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, was offered 40 films at once, but disappeared due to..., now he is....

Bollywood is a place where stardom doesn't last for years and years if you become inept in the industry. Irrespective of an actor making a power-packed debut, if the star does not pick scripts that align with the audience, they may soon be replaced. Today, we will discuss an actor who made his debut in 1983, but his breakthrough came in 2000. Before his superhit film, this actor did 10 movies but still remained anonymous. Actor Who Gave Tough Competition to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan His green eyes and innocent looks drove audiences crazy. There was a time when this actor gave tough competition to stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. If you are wondering who we are talking about, then this star is Jugal Hansraj. Jugal was one of those actors in the industry who made fans go crazy with his looks. He started his journey in 1983 with the film Masoom. Over the next few years, he did other films including Jhutha Sach, Loha, The Don, and more. Jugal Hansraj's Breakthrough Jugal's major breakthrough came when he featured in Mohabbatein alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. When Jugal Hansraj entered the film industry, many believed he was destined to be the next superstar. However, his fortunes soon took a drastic turn, and he was labeled 'unlucky' by those in the industry. At one point, when his career seemed to be on the rise, directors and producers were lining up to sign him. The demand was so high that Jugal reportedly signed as many as 40 films at once, though only a few were eventually made while others never saw the light of day. In an interview, Hansraj revealed that he was called a jinx when he went to film events. Jugal Hansraj is currently working with Dharma Productions as part of their creative team, focusing on script selection and development.
