Caste system becomes barrier between Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri in 'Dhadak 2' trailer

New Delhi: The romance between Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri blossoms until casteism takes over in the trailer of their upcoming film "Dhadak 2".

Written and directed by Shazia Iqbal, known for her acclaimed short film "Bebaak" and Prime Video series "Love Storiyaan", "Dhadak 2" is produced by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures.

The makers unveiled the trailer of the film on Friday.

The story begins with Chaturvedi's character Neelesh and Dimri's Vidhi, both college students pursuing law, who develop feelings for each other.

But Neelesh encounters discrimination stemming from casteism, as his admission was secured through the reservation quota, despite Vidhi not being bothered about the caste differences.

As the trailer progresses, it follows Neelesh and Vidhi trying to overcome all the obstacles in pursuit of their love for each other.

The romantic drama sequel borrows the title from the 2018 film "Dhadak", which was the Hindi remake of the Marathi blockbuster movie "Sairat" (2016). The Hindi version launched Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in the film industry.

"Dhadak 2" was initially slated to release in November 2024 but was postponed numerous times by the makers. It will now release in theatres on August 1. The film also stars Ashish Chaudhary.
