Ever since Dostana, directed by Tarun Mansukhani and starring John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra released in 2008, fans have been waiting for the sequel. Some reports suggested the dashing duo would return but along with Katrina Kaif, however, the idea was canned due to lack of a bound script. The second part finally flies off but with a fresh cast.

For the uninitiated, Dostana 2 stars Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya. Mansukhani has been replaced by Collin D'Cunha, another fresh name. Now, Filmfare reports the shooting for the film is all set to start in Punjab by the end of October; this shall be the first schedule. Nothing about the plot is out yet but Aaryan is all set to play a homosexual character, and Kapoor will play his sister.
