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.
