Tripti Dimri started shooting for ‘Dhadak 2′, first glimpse revealed, why did fans’ mood get spoiled after seeing Siddhant?

Bollywood actresses Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi are currently busy shooting for their upcoming romantic drama ‘Dhadak 2’. Produced by Dharma Productions, the film is a sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Dhadak’, with which Janhvi Kapoor made her Bollywood debut. On the other hand, it was also Ishaan Khatter’s second film after ‘Beyond the Clouds’. ‘Dhadak’ was a remake of the critically acclaimed Marathi film ‘Sairat’. Talking about Dhadak 2 is a remake of the Tamil film ‘Pariyerum Perumal’. These films are based on the topic of caste-based discrimination prevalent in the society. Fans are eagerly waiting to see the chemistry of Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, however, the first picture from the sets has left social media users upset. Let us tell you the reason behind this.

Shooting of the film begins

Tripti and Siddhant have started shooting for ‘Dhadak 2’. A picture from the set has gone viral on social media. The pictures of both of them have been taken at Somaiya Vidyavihar University in Maharashtra. In the picture shared on social media, both actors are seen filming a college scene and are also seen climbing stairs while talking. While Tripti looked very beautiful in a printed top and jeans, Siddhant’s look upset the fans. In the photo, the actor can be seen in brown facial makeup with a middle-class look and this look of Siddhant has disappointed the fans.

The film is based on caste discrimination.

For the unversed, the story of ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ and ‘Dhadak 2’ revolves around a lower caste boy who falls in love with a rich and upper-class girl. Now, Reddit users have criticized the makers of ‘Dhadak 2’ for making Siddhant look like a dark-skinned guy due to caste. One commented, “Ah the old Dharma gareeb-hai-brownface-kar-do makeup routine is back.” Another wrote, “Ah brown facing in 2025.”

The film was announced in May.

In May this year, Karan Johar confirmed the sequel of Dhadak through his social media account and announced the release of Dhadak 2. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film was earlier scheduled to release in theatres on November 22, 2024. However, the release has been postponed to next year. The makers are hoping to release the film sometime in February. Dhadak 2 is produced by Karan Johar, Umesh KR Bansal, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Meenu Arora, and Somen Mishra.
