Triptii Dimri on missing out on action in Dhadak 2 and beating up Siddhant Chaturvedi on the side
Triptii Dimri revealed that while filming the intense romantic drama Dhadak 2, she and Aditya Thackeray created a lighthearted side-project they jokingly called Dhadak 3. Feeling left out of Siddhant Chaturvedi's action scenes, they improvised their own action sequences, even roping Siddhant in to be playfully defeated. Director Shazia Iqbal was initially confused by their antics during serious scene shoots. While Dhadak 2 is being touted as a more intense, layered, and emotionally rich sequel to the 2018 romantic hit, it seems the mood on set wasn't always all serious.

WATCH In a candid and humorous revelation, Triptii shared how she and co-star Aditya Thackeray often found themselves on the sidelines while Siddhant was busy filming high-octane action scenes. "Siddhant used to have all these action scenes for the film," she said, recalling the slight envy — or as she calls it, 'FOMO' — that she and Aditya felt. "So me and my friend Aditya Thackeray — he's also playing a friend in the film — we used to feel left out. " What started as harmless banter soon evolved into full-on improvisation. "We were like, 'Let's just make our own film,'" Triptii laughed. "We would go in a corner and start making our own action film where we were fighting, pretending to shoot scenes." The funniest twist?

'Janaki V vs State of Kerala' box office collections day 6: Suresh Gopi's film sees Tuesday drop; crosses Rs 4.4 crores
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After holding a stable run over its opening weekend, 'JSK - Janaki V vs State of Kerala' witnessed a further dip on its sixth day, Tuesday, July 22, 2025. According to the Sacnilk website, the film collected an estimated Rs 26 lakhs at the India box office, bringing its total domestic net to Rs 4.46 crore. While the pace has clearly slowed after Monday's steep drop, the film continues to find pockets of steady interest—particularly in Bengaluru. Occupancy drops across Kerala Reportedly, Tuesday's overall Malayalam occupancy stood at 7.98%, with morning shows starting as low as 3.36% and improving slightly through the day to reach 11.88% by night. Kochi and Trivandrum recorded low footfalls as it was hovering around 7% and 4.75% overall respectively. Bengaluru turned out to be a surprise performer as it was clocking a strong 25.75% overall occupancy. Interestingly, morning shows in Bengaluru were packed, peaking at 43%. ETimes verdict; what's next for 'JSK'? Directed by Pravin Narayanan, the legal drama blends emotional courtroom moments with a socially conscious narrative. The film features a solid ensemble cast including Shruthi Ramachandran, Suresh Gopi , Anupama Parameswaran, and Divya Pillai. ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review reads, "A tighter, crisper edit would have served it better. While Suresh Gopi's monologues are familiar to Malayali audiences, they could have been trimmed without taking anything away from the film. Towards the climax, the lengthy dialogues become long-winded and, frankly, grating so close to the resolution. Some awkward English dialogues also stand out. That Pravin resists opting for a 'socially acceptable' ending, however, makes the film watchable." While Tuesday's performance indicates a natural dip post-weekend, the film's fate will now hinge on its second weekend.
