Karan Johar refutes news about Janhvi Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra starring in Dostana sequel

Karan Johar has refuted all the speculations revolving around the Dostana sequel. It was being said that Sidharth Malhotra  and  Janhvi Kapoor  would be replacing two of the stars from the original trio of  Abhishek Bachchan ,  John Abraham  and  Priyanka Chopra . However, Johar took to Twitter and made it clear that the news is completely false.

According to a report published by Bollywood Hungama, a source close to the production said Karan Johar was always keen on making _Dostana_ 2  since the original was a hit and now that the scripting is done, he is bound to speed up the whole process. However, the third lead role is yet to be finalised. The source also mentioned “Like the first film this one too will be directed by Tarun Mansukhani. The only difference will be the story and cast that will change." [caption id=“attachment_4999111” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]  Sidharth Malhotra (L) and Janhvi Kapoor.

It portrayed homosexuality in an unrestrained manner and dealt with the story of two men pretending to be gay in order to get an apartment with a woman. They fall in love with her but she ends up being involved with someone else ( Bobby Deol ). The film’s lively music, colourful shots of Miami and the chemistry of the lead actors made it a win.
