Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi speak to Shama Bhagat on their latest film Dhadak 2 and experimenting with characters
A searing romantic drama about identity, power, and the cost of love in the world we live in, Dhadak 2 initiates conversations not usually explored by mainstream Bollywood movies. The directorial debut by Shazia Iqbal is a remake of the Tamil movie Pariyerum Perumal and is getting a lot of critical praise. Actors Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi play the characters of two young law students who have to fight for their relationship.
The original films which inspired Dhadak and Dhadak 2 were huge box office hits. Were you under any pressure when you took up the film?
Tripti: It depends on how much pressure you take. Honestly, I don't take any pressure at all since it takes away the joy of acting. If you go on the sets with pressure, you won't be able to do justice to the character. From the first day itself, you have to have trust the director. What matters is that you go back home feeling happy and content.
