Dostana sequel in the works?

More sequels on their way. I don’t know how true it is, but reports say that Dostana is likely to get a sequel too.

Tarun Mansukhani, writer and director of Dostana, is said to be working on a script for Dostana 2.

If that is the case, then this time around there will be no Priyanka Chopra, considering she faded into the sunset with Bobby Deol.

Apparently, in Dostana 2, the Abhishek Bachchan-John Abraham duo go to Punjab from Miami, and have a hard time convincing people that, guess what, they are not gay.

Unfortunately, they land in situations that make it difficult for anyone to believe they are straight.

To me, its stretching a few laughs into a script that will inevitably be wafer-thin. As it is, Dostana was a stretched version of the Kantabai scenes with Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan from Kal Ho Na Ho.

Dostana, produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions was one of 2008’s big hits. The movie, definitely, albeit loosely, inspired by I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, is about two men Sameer (Abhishek Bachchan and Kunal (John Abraham) who are desperately looking for a place to rent.

They zero in on an apartment but are turned down because the owner of the house is a young girl Neha (Priyanka Chopra) who does not want young men as tenants.

Sameer and Kunal then pretend to be gay, so they can rent the apartment, but soon enough fall in love with Neha.

But, they cannot express their feelings because they are ostensibly in love with each other. Meanwhile, Neha is very attracted to her boss Abhimanyu (Bobby Deol) who is interested as well.

Feeling threatened, Sameer and Kunal set out to break the fledgling relationship between Neha and Abhimanyu.
