Siddhant Chaturvedi hints at Gully Boy 2-Dhadak 2 crossover with Ishaan Khatter
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. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Varinder Chawla (@varindertchawla) 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.

Siddhant Chaturvedi teases Ishaan Khatter's role in Gully Boy 2: 'It's like Dhadak 2 x Gully Boy 2'
In a moment that felt half accidental, half orchestrated, actor Siddhant Chaturvedi may have just dropped one of Bollywood's juiciest sequel hints: Ishaan Khatter is reportedly locked in for 'Gully Boy 2.' The revelation came during a candid interview, where Siddhant was discussing his upcoming film 'Dhadak 2' and ended up teasing a crossover that fans didn't see coming. The inside joke that sparked speculation The interview happened with Hesha Chimah from Varinder Chawla, while recounting how he learned the title of 'Dhadak 2,' Siddhant shared a story involving Ishaan: '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.'' Siddhant then added a cryptic punchline saying, 'And we have an inside joke… Do you know Akshay Kumar from Ajnabee? It's like Dhadak 2 x Gully Boy 2,' he said, making a switch gesture. The implication? A role reversal of sorts—Siddhant, who debuted as MC Sher in Gully Boy of the year 2019, now leads 'Dhadak 2', while Ishaan, who starred in 'Dhadak' of the year 2018, may be stepping into the 'Gully Boy' universe. A full-circle moment for two rising stars Siddhant praised Ishaan's performance in the original 'Dhadak,' saying, 'He's started the franchise and he was fabulous in that. And I know this will at least, be at par.' If the crossover is real, it marks a poetic switch for both actors, each stepping into the other's breakout franchise. While no official confirmation has been made about 'Gully Boy 2,' Siddhant's comments have sent fans into a frenzy, eagerly awaiting updates from director Zoya Akhtar. What we know about 'Dhadak 2' Directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by one of the leading productions, 'Dhadak 2' stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. The film is a spiritual sequel to 'Dhadak' and a remake of the acclaimed Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal,' exploring caste-based discrimination and forbidden love.
