Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan announced their first ever collaboration with Dostana 2 that stars Janhvi Kapoor in the female lead under Dharma productions. Makers completed its first schedule but the pandemic induced lockdown hammered the pending schedule.
Kartik was seen in January at KJO’s office. But soon things seem to have turned tipsy turvy. News surfaced that the actor remained incommunicado with Karan and gave no clarity about his dates for Dostana 2. It is learnt that Kartik Aaryan, as a precautionary measure decided to first finish Ram Madhvani’s film Dhamaka and this miffed up the producer.
A source disclosed that, “After a long wait Kartik gave a genuine reason of the Covid 19 pandemic to not begin shoot. He wanted to ensure safety so Karan didn’t push him much. But when he shot for Dhamaka, Karan was upset. They had an indoor meeting where Karan expressed his disappointment.”
However, other sources gave a different explanation. Kartik who is juggling multiple projects, fixed his dates to shoot Dhamaka since Bhool Bhulaiya 2 was rescheduled. “Dostana 2 shoot was planned with an overseas schedule that would be filmed in the UK. This shoot got deferred due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But still the actor assured his available dates in April for Dostana 2, the source affirmed.
