A source revealed that the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director always wanted a Dostana 2, especially after the first received much success. "He finally has a script for the film, which of course will speed up production. As for the cast, Karan has finalised both Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, and is currently still searching for the third lead role which will be played by a man, once again."

The insider added that, like the first, Dostana 2 will be a Tarun Mansukhani directorial. Following these rumours, Johar has taken matters into his own hands and shared a tweet stating that these reports are "baseless," thus denying all speculations.
