‘Dostana 2’ is not happening, confirms filmmaker Karan Johar

Karan Johar’s production venture ‘Dostana’ which featured Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in lead roles, was a mega-hit back in the year 2008. So it definitely brought a smile to everyone’s faces when the news of the film’s sequel surfaced. The cherry on the top was the casting of the film which was reportedly Sidharth Malhotra and ‘Dhadak’ actress Janhvi Kapoor.

However, filmmaker Karan Johar quashed all the rumours surrounding the remake of ‘Dostana’ with just one tweet. Taking to his Twitter handle, he wrote, “Hello!!! All news circulating about ‘DOSTANA 2’ is untrue!!! Lots of speculation which is entirely baseless!!!.”

Disappointing much, isn’t it? As of now, we can only hope that Karan keeps the thought of delighting his fans with the 2008 hit remake in the near future, at least.

Meanwhile, speaking of Janhvi Kapoor’s other projects, the newbie has Johar’s magnum opus ‘Takht’ featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, Anil Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, in her kitty.

On the other hand, Sidharth Malhotra will be seen in Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Jabariya Jodi’ opposite his ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ co-star Parineeti Chopra for which he has already started filming and Captain Vikram Batra’s biopic.
