Buzz has it that director Tarun Mansukhani, who had helmed Dostana and was supposed to direct the sequel as well, has been asked to leave Dharma Productions by head honcho Karan Johar. The reason- Johar reportedly found out that Tarun had been approaching other producers for Dostana sequel as he was getting impatient to start work on the project.
Sources claim that the sequel to the film had been on the backburner since the past many years and Tarun was allegedly not happy with the way Johar was promoting new talent like Shakun Batra, Karan Malhotra and Ayan Mukerji instead of focusing on the sequel, which made him approach other producers.
Dharma sources claim that with this development, they are not yet sure about whether KJo will go ahead with the sequel project without Tarun or shelve. Dostana, which starred Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, was a rom-com about two young men, who pretend to be gay due to certain circumstances and end up falling for their female roommate.
