“Yes I woke up to several inquiries asking about his film industry connections!!! He is NOT from the business and went through a legit audition process !! Am grateful to Shanoo Sharma for introducing LAKSHYA to @DharmaMovies”, the filmmaker wrote.

'Dostana 2' is the sequel to the 2008 super-hit 'Dostana' that had John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles.
