After waiting for nearly four years to make the sequel to the 2008 film Dostana, buzz is that Tarun Mansukhani is set to look at other scripts.

Tarun wants to move away from the past after having intently waited to make the much-talked about sequel to the film.

Katrina Kaif was signed to play the female lead but the makers failed to move ahead with the film.

Sources claim that Tarun is busy with the new script right now and the sequel has been indefinitely delayed despite the leading pair John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan insisting on one.

We had reported a few weeks back that filmmaker Karan Johar had shown the door to director Tarun Mansukhani after the former discovered that the latter had been approaching other producers for Dostana sequel, which was supposed to be a Dharma product.

However, sources claim that during the launch event of Karan Johar’s upcoming film Student Of The Year, Karan and Tarun were seen chatting amicably over coffee. Not only this, when Karan was asked about this, he reportedly responded by saying that ‘all is well’ between the two.

It was reported back then that Tarun was getting impatient about Karan not having time for the sequel to Dostana as he was busy with other projects, which had compelled Tarun to approach other producers for the movie, thus causing a rift between them.

Dostana, which starred Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, was a rom-com about two young men, who pretend to be gay and end up falling in love with the same girl, who is also their roommate.

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.
