Dostana 2: After Kartik Aaryan gets ousted; Akshay Kumar replaces the actor?

Ever since the news of Kartik Aaryan’s exit from Dostana 2 due to ‘creative differences’ surfaced, there are plenty of speculations on who would replace him and would be roped in as the new lead in the film. HT City has exclusively learnt from their sources that actor Akshay Kumar has been requested by Dharma Productions to join the cast of Dostana 2 and save them from this “tricky situation” since they do not have a lead at the present.

Karan Johar has personally requested Akshay to come on board Dostana 2 and help him out as a lot of money is already at stake. The source further adds that with the current developments in the cast, “Karan is even ready to make changes to the script — which was earlier written keeping Kartik in mind — so that it fits Akshay’s character.”
