What's the new trouble for Dostana 2?

Filmmaker Advait Chandan, known for Secret Superstar and Laal Singh Chaddha, has exited the project, reportedly due to creative differences. However, there has been no official confirmation on this yet.

His exit comes after he has spent approximately seven months developing the film before he chose to step out due to differences that are, ''stemmed from creative differencesasChandan's vision for the project did not align with the direction the producers wished to pursue.''

The separation has been amicable, with no indication of any dispute.

Chanda's exit comes after the director, Collin D'Cunha, walked away from the production.

Dostana 2: The journey of uncertainty

Announced in 2019, the movie is the sequel to Dharma Productions’ 2008 hit Dostana, which starred Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan, and John Abraham. The sequel was originally announced with Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Lakshya. The project made headlines after Aaryan’s sudden exit, which had the industry talking for years. The shoot had even begun in Goa, and the trio had filmed portions before Aryan's exit in 2021 that changed everything for the highly anticipated project.

The movie was later revived with Vikrant Massey and Lakshya in leading roles, with former Miss India World Sini Shetty also in talks to join the project. No official confirmation was shared. This would have marked her Bollywood debut. But after the exit of Chandan, things seem to have taken a more serious turn, pushing the movie into more uncertainty.
