Get ready for a reboot that’s bound to raise eyebrows! Dostana 2, once shelved amid casting shake-ups, is reportedly back on Dharma Productions’ radar — but with a whole new vibe. According to fresh buzz, South siren Sreeleela is being considered to replace Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, while Vikrant Massey might step in for Kartik Aaryan.
Lakshya is still holding on to his original spot, but that’s about all that’s staying the same. The film, originally to be helmed by Collin D’Cunha, may now be directed by Advait Chandan of Secret Superstar fame. The quirky rom-com is expected to roll cameras by September 2025 or early 2026.
The makers reportedly wanted fresh pairings — and what’s fresher than a Massey-Sreeleela-Lakshya triangle? Meanwhile, Kartik and Sreeleela are busy sizzling on another set for Anurag Basu’s untitled romance, set for a Diwali 2025 showdown with Thama.
With Kartik still juggling Dharma’s Naagzilla and Tu Meri Main Tera, looks like KJo’s camp is keeping all options — and headlines — open!
