Dostana’s endless dastaan

This is one endless dastaan. After the success of Dostana, Karan Johar and writer-director Tarun Mansukhani had announced its sequel. However, there has been no final word on when and if it shall finally see the light.

But an associate of Karan has now revealed that the sequel is on track — as well as the reason for the untoward delay. “Karan knows just how valuable the franchise is,” the source says. “The problem was that Tarun wasn’t able to come up with the final script. However, he has now made some progress.”

Earlier as well, there were rumours that Karan’s dissatisfaction with Tarun’s script had led to the delay. In fact, Karan had even contemplated shelving the film altogether. But Karan now denies that was ever the case. “I admire Tarun for saying that he wants more time to work on the film,” says KJo. “He knows that after the first weekend, it’s the screenplay that will do the talking. He can’t rely on the franchise value of the film, so he is working hard.”
