Karan Johar’s Dostana 2 has been the talk of the town for quite some time.
The movie has been in the making for a long time, but after a fallout between Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan over creative differences in 2021, the film was shelved.

Four years later, the project is now ready to move ahead with Vikrant Massey likely in talks to replace Kartik Aryan.
Many people wonder if Kartik, who previously turned down the role of costarring with Varun Dhawan in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi 2, is now against making multi-star films.

With rumors suggesting that even Janhvi Kapoor might also be replaced by South sensation Sreeleela, it has left fans questioning the necessity for this recast after so many years.
Although one might think that this drama would be sufficient to sever Kartik’s connections with Karan and Dharma, the truth is contrary to that.

It has since been revealed that Kartik is set to do not one but two titles under Dharma in under a year.
Karan and Kartik had reportedly patched things up during the 2023 Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, with Kartik now back in Karan’s good books.
He is lined up to do a romantic comedy, “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Teri Tu Mera,” alongside Ananya Pandey, set for release in 2026, followed by “Naagzilla,” where he’s expected to play a shape-shifting serpent.
With Johar’s influence to choose almost anybody, is this a sign that he’s playing favorites again, or is Kartik just too hot to drop?
