The reports that were doing the rounds suggested that Janhvi Kapoor, who made her grand debut with Dhadak was signed for the leading lady's role in Dostana 2. Sidharth Malhotra was reportedly the lead actor in the film. But now that Karan has rubbished rumours, we may have to wait until the filmmaker decides to come up with a sequel to the film.

Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Dostana which also starred Bobby Deol, Kirron Kher, Sushmita Mukherjee and Boman Irani in supporting roles released in 2008. 

Janhvi has been roped in by Johar for a period film named Takht starring Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Anil Kapoor. Sidharth, on the other hand, has a film based on Kargil Martyr Vikram Batra in the pipeline besides a flick titled Jabariya Jodi with Parineeti Chopra.
