Karan Johar‘s Dostana 2 was a film that was in the buzz as it was set to star Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya in the lead roles. But now, we got some shocking news, straight from the Dharma Productions, about how they are going to be replacing Kartik in the film and recasting for it.

While rumours about the actor and the production house having some creative differences were doing the rounds yesterday, Dharma Productions released a statement later last evening and addressed the issue.

The statement read:

Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence – we will be recasting Dostana 2, directed by Collin D’Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon.

Here is their post:

Dostana 2 is the sequel to the popular 2008 film, Dostana, that starred Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra & John Abraham in the titular roles.

Kartik had already shot for over two weeks for a few portions of Dostana 2 with Janhvi and Lakshya. But the shoot was halted owing to the COVID-19 induced lockdown in the country. Now, we have got to wait and watch to know who is going to take his place in the film.
