Triptii Dimri Reflects on 'Laila Majnu' Clocking 6 Years: 'I Was Heartbroken When It Didn't Perform Well'

It was in 2018 when Triptii Dimri made her debut with “Laila Majnu”, as the film clocked six years since it hit the screens on Saturday

Actress Triptii Dimri, who made her debut with “Laila Majnu” in 2018, has expressed her gratitude for the film's success following its re-release.

Despite the film's poor performance upon its initial release, it managed to surpass its original earnings after being re-released in August.

Speaking about the film's journey, Triptii said, “I was heartbroken when Laila Majnu didn’t perform well upon its initial release. Now, it's incredible to see how people have embraced and celebrated it.”

The romantic drama, helmed by Sajid Ali and presented by Imtiaz Ali, is a contemporary retelling of the story of “Layla and Majnun.”

The film was produced by Preeti Ali, Ekta Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor.

“Every day, I hear from fans who express their love for the film. It was a project that we all invested our hearts into, and it will always hold a special place in mine. I hope it continues to touch hearts worldwide and that the love for it never fades,” Triptii added.

The actress will next be seen in “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” alongside Rajkummar Rao.

She is also part of the cast of Kartik Aaryan's “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”, the latest installment in the horror-comedy franchise.

Additionally, Triptii will be appearing in “Dhadak 2”, which was announced in May.

Karan Johar shared the first look of the upcoming film on Instagram, writing: “This story is a bit different. Once, there was a king and a queen, both of them belonged to different castes, end of story. Presenting ‘Dhadak 2’ starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. Directed by Shazia Iqbal. #Dhadak2 in cinemas November 22.”

The video featured various texts related to the lives of Dalits and the resistance against the practice of casteism.

Most of the texts in the video were in blue, highlighting Ambedkarite themes.

The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, with the two playing characters from different worlds.

The film addresses the issue of discrimination against people from oppressed castes.

The first part of the ‘Dhadak’ franchise marked the Bollywood debut of actress Janhvi Kapoor, who starred alongside Ishaan Khatter.

The film itself was an adaptation of the Marathi blockbuster ‘Sairat’, directed by Nagraj Manjule.

“Dhadak 2' is set to arrive in cinemas on November 22.
