Ever since it was announced, netizens have been excited for the Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer Dhadak 2. Now that the makers have unveiled the much-awaited trailer on Friday afternoon, the internet is abuzz with reactions and speculations. The movie is, reportedly, a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018). Scheduled for release in August 2025, the movie was earlier supposed to release on November 1, 2024. However, it was then pushed to March 2025, but again faced delays after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) told the makers to make 16 specific modifications.
Shedding light on the same, Dharma Productions’ Karan Johar addressed the media during the trailer release event. Quoted by News18, he said, “Dharma Productions has quintessentially always been associated with a certain kind of cinema, which I think we’ve always tried to honour. We have taken scenes and presented them with utmost sincerity — that was also the need of the hour.”

He went on to explain that he has never been worried about “repercussions” as it always “restricts you as an artist.” Lauding the censor board, he expressed that they were “very understanding, compassionate, and absolutely understood” what the film wanted to convey. He added, “They were protecting sensitivity, and so were we. We worked very well together and understood their perspective. Yes, at times, these things take time — it’s not something that can happen overnight.”
“In our industry, things often happen at the last minute. You send the film to the censor board at the last minute, and then you can’t make the necessary cuts on time. In that rush, the quality is compromised. That’s not the case here — it took time, yes, but all good things take time,” the producer concluded.
