The filmmaker credited director Shazia Iqbal for bringing an important voice and perspective to the screen. Calling her the soul of the film, Karan praised her storytelling and vision, stating that the impact the film has created is a testament to her talent and conviction.
“The love and respect it has garnered over the past few months had been overwhelming and I all credit to the immensely talented Shazia Iqbal for being this important voice and storyteller ! She’s the soul of our film,” he wrote.
Dhadak 2 is a spiritual sequel to Dhadak and a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. The film follows Nilesh and Vidhi, who fall in love. However, tragedy strikes when their relationship is threatened by caste differences, creating a significant obstacle to their union.
The film underperformed significantly at the box office, failing to recover its investment during its theatrical run.

The film stars Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday in the roles, alongside Neena Gupta, Jackie Shroff and Tiku Talsania. The filmmaker has been feted with the National Film Awards and the Padma Shri.
