All eyes will be on Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi next week when Dhadak 2, their spiritual sequel to the path-breaking film Dhadak of 2018, releases on August 1. Both actors have already made inroads into Bollywood with their earlier films. The focus will be on how well their pairing works at the box office in this intense love drama next week. The trailer of Dhadak 2 has shown considerable sizzle in the chemistry between these actors. That, and the gripping tale of identity, social power, and the cost of love in these troubled times is what is going to draw audiences to the theatres. It is not easy for somebody who has no Bollywood background to make a mark in this competitive industry. But filmdom has several artistes like Triptii and Siddhant who on the basis of their talent, hard work and patience, not only gained footholds in Bollywood, but also established themselves as actors and actresses to be reckoned with.
