Dostana 2 finds its second male lead?

Just a couple of days ago, we got to know that Dostana 2, a sequel to Dharma Productions’ much-loved comic-caper, Dostana (2008), is set to roll soon. Producer Karan Johar announced the project along with revealing the cast. KJo introduced Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor as the new lead of the film, while also mentioning that he would soon announce the name of one more lead.

It looks like Karan Johar has found the second male lead for Dostana 2. Yes, you heard that right! If the latest reports doing the rounds are to be believed, debutant Fateh Randhawa will play the second male character in the movie. Fateh is the son of former actress Farah Naaz and nephew of seasoned Bollywood actress Tabu. A source close to an entertainment portal has confirmed the news. However, the makers are yet to make an official announcement confirming the same.


There is another interesting speculation surrounding Dostana 2. Ever since Karan Johar announced the film, cinephiles assumed that Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor would be romantically paired opposite each other. However, the latest buzz has it that the duo is playing siblings in the much-awaited flick.

A source in the know reveals to an entertainment portal, "Kartik and Janhvi are not paired opposite each other in Dostana 2. In fact, they are playing siblings in the film. This is a new brother-sister pairing that Karan Johar is introducing with the movie. The reason why they called the third lead 'a suitable boy' is because both Janhvi and Kartik have the same love interest, to be essayed by this newcomer that Dharma plans to launch with the sequel.”

Dostana 2 marks the directorial debut of Collin Dchunha. The film is expected to arrive in cinemas next year.

"Bollywood is stuck in the 1980s": Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor slams industry’s obsession with stars & big-budget flops

Bollywood has been grappling with an identity crisis, with many questioning whether the industry's golden era is over. A recent social media debate reignited the discussion, claiming that the industry is in decline due to the absence or sporadic appearances of major stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor, actor and son of Anil Kapoor, responded with a sharp critique of Bollywood’s over-reliance on big-budget, star-driven films, arguing that it is time for a shift toward strong storytelling.

A user on X posted, "Bollywood is finished. Salman doesn’t want to act, Aamir has no films, Akshay has a dozen films but none that matter, SRK does a film every two years, and Ajay is playing it safe. Ranbir Kapoor seems like the only one carrying the industry forward."
