Karan Johar shelves Dostana 2 after Katrik Aaryan’s exit?

Karan Johar’s Dostana 2 has been one of the much-anticipated films, but the fallout between Kartik and Karan Johar has changed it all. Dostana was about to star Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lakshya in pivotal roles. After Kartik Aryan’s exit, there were several reports that claimed a complete revamp with another big actor stepping into Kartik’s shoes. As per the reports Akshay Kumar was approached for the role but now Karan Johar has decided to maybe shelve the entire film. 

Now it seems Karan Johar is facing a hard time revamping the film. Bollywood Hungama report quoted a source as saying, “There was a strong buzz all across that Dostana 2 would be completely reshot with slight tweaking in the script. There was also a talk about Karan Johar approaching his close friend, Akshay Kumar to step into Kartik’s shoes. However now, there is a very strong buzz in the industry that Dostana 2 has been put on the backburner completely.”

For now, Dharma Productions has given new projects to both Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya. He is also teaming up with Akshay Kumar for another film ‘Selfie’. The source also added, “He tried to revamp the film, but when things were taking longer than expected, he decided to put Dostana 2 on hold completely. Janhvi is now doing a film with Sharan Sharma, whereas Lakshya is doing a film with Shashank Khaitan. Akshay on the other hand teams up with Raj Mehta. And with this, Karan has put Dostana 2 silently under the shelf, hoping that it sees the light of day sometime in future.”
