MUMBAI: Recently we heard the news about Kartik Aaryan losing the Dharma project Dostana 2. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor and is a launchpad for Television actor Lakshya in movies. And the reason behind Kartik dropping out from the project was said to be creative differences between Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan. Now, that the lead actor’s role is once again available, the makers are going back to their first choice.
As per sources Dharma Productions is considering bringing Rajkummar Rao on board for Dostana 2. He was their first choice when the project was being made but at the time, he couldn’t do the film due to his dates. Now that makers are keen on enlisting someone, they are once again thinking of Rao who was fit for the role. Interestingly, Rao and Janhvi Kapoor recently worked together in horror-comedy Roohi and have a great work rapport.
Karan Johar is still figuring out who to cast for the lead role. The director Collin D'Cunha is currently working making changes in the script, accordingly.
