There is speculation the 2008 film ‘Dostana’ which starred Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in lead roles is reportedly getting a sequel.

Reports have suggested producer Karan Johar came across several scripts over the years but none of them lived up to the sensation that was created by ‘Dostana’ which picked up taboo topics into mainstream cinema.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the 46-year-old producer has finalised a script for the film and has also roped in Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor to play the film’s lead.

“Karan Johar always wanted to make ‘Dostana 2′, especially after the first film worked so well. Now finally he has a script for the film, which of course will speed up production.

“As for the cast, Karan has finalized both Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, and is currently looking out for the third lead role that will again be a male lead,” a source told the entertainment site.

The source added that ‘Dostana 2′ will also be directed by Tarun Mansukhani, and the makers are still casting people for the film and it is still a long way off from going on the floor.

“The only difference will be the story and cast that will change. But as of now with the hunt still on, the film is still a long way off from going on floor,” he said.

Janhvi is the daughter of late Sridevi and Boney Kapoor. She made her Bollywood debut with Karan Johar’s production venture Dhadak. The young debutant received a lot of praise for her performance, and will be next seen in the period drama Takht.

Back in 2012, Siddharth also made his Bollywood debut with Karan’s directorial venture ‘Student of The Year’. Sidharth is presently shooting for his upcoming film ‘Jabariya Jodi’ alongside Parineeti Chopra.

However, this did not sound well and Karan Johar was accused for promoting nepotism in the film industry once again.

Karan did not only refute the rumours of a sequel but also let everyone know he is no mood of being dragged into a debate on nepotism.

“Hello!!! All news circulating about DOSTANA 2 is untrue!!! Lots of speculation which is entirely baseless!!!,” he wrote in a tweet.

A Twitter user has stated that “Karan Johar can win Gold medal in launching Start Kids…….#Dostana2 #nepotism #KaranJohar.”
