It was only yesterday that Karan Johar shared a cryptic tweet with a video attached, announcing his next project on Twitter. While PeepingMoon.com had broken the story in September 2018 that Dostana 2 was very much on Karan Johar’s mind, the latest video certainly dropped a major hint at Dostana 2. KJo captioned the tweet, "Got a ring to it, doesn't it? You know what it is! Stay tuned and watch this space - announcement coming your way tomorrow!"

Now as peculations about the second installment of Dostana have been rife for some time now, with names of various actors doing the rounds. the suspense is finally over now. The filmmaker finally confirmed that Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor have been finalised as the leads of Dostana 2. While Janhvi was appreciated for her performance in Dhadak and is seen as a talent to watch out for, Kartik, after his recent spate of films, has emerged as a teen heart-throb. A newcomer will join the two actors, to complete the triangular romantic-comedy. The film will also see producer Karan Johar introducing a new director, Collin D’Cunha.
Here's his announcement:

Talking about the upcoming project, Karan stated, "I am excited to take the Dostana franchise forward with Kartik and Janhvi, and can’t wait to create some desi boy-girl madness with them. This is Dharma Productions’ first film with Kartik and we are looking forward to working with him. We will also be introducing a new male lead, who will join the incredible talent at our production house. Collin D’Cunha also makes his directorial debut with Dostana 2.”
Dostana, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, featured John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan as two straight men who pretend to be gay in order to share an apartment with Priyanka Chopra.
