From The Intern to 3 Idiots: Movies about friendship to watch with your besties on OTT platforms

<p>The beleaguered project 'Dostana 2', in the pipeline for ten years, is yet to get its final cast. After&nbsp;Kartik &nbsp;Aaryan's exit from the project in April, the strong buzz doing the rounds is that Akshay Kumar has taken over the project and that the other two lead actors in the project Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Laksh Lalvani are to be replaced.</p>

<p>However, when I touched base with Karan Johar he said, “Not true at all. Janhvi and Laksh are very much part of the film.”</p>

<p>As for the other lead that Kartik Aaryan vacated- is Akshay Kumar taking over?</p>

<p>Karan replied&nbsp;“My lips are sealed. Will announce soon.”</p>

<p>Ridden with problems from the start the project finally took off in &nbsp;2018. Tarun Mansukhani who directed the hot homophobic hit&nbsp; 'Dostana' in &nbsp;2008 &nbsp;was no longer helming the sequel. A &nbsp;new director- Colin De Cunha-was all set to direct&nbsp; 'Dostana 2'&nbsp; with Janhvi Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan and newcomer Laksh in the lead.</p>

<p>The project was troubled from the start. Producer Karan Johar tried his best to ensure Mansukhani returned with the sequel. But Tarun Mansukhani couldn't come up with a single idea worth filming. Way back in 2009, Karan Johar announced the sequel with Tarun as director and the same two leading men &nbsp;Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham with Katrina Kaif replacing Priyanka Chopra. But Karan didn’t like the script that Tarun came up with. Karan decided to wait for Tarun to rustle up a &nbsp;decent idea for a sequel.</p>

<p>Finally, Karan roped in another director and fresh cast.</p>

<p>Earlier this year Kartik Aaryan opted out of 'Dostana 2' after he expressed some doubts and misgivings about the script. Producer &nbsp;Karan Johar loftily announced he would get another A-lister to replace Kartik.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Looks like Karan will keep his word.</p>

Karan Johar completes 'Dostana 2' cast with newcomer Lakshya, netizens ask who?

<p>As 'Dostana' clocked in 10 years, its lead actor Abhishek Bachchan took to Instagram to thank the cast and crew of the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bachchan shared a few behind the scene images from the film's set and which starred Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham, Bobby Deol and Kiran Kher apart from Bachchan. The film, released in 2008, was perhaps the first commercial film in Bollywood to talk about homosexuality alibi in a comic manner.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bachchan gave a long caption to the images and revealed that how he first heard of the film in 2005 while shooting for 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here's what Bachchan wrote, "<em>2005 was the first time @karanjohar and @tarun_mansukhani told me the idea of #Dostana. I still remember driving with Tarun to </em><em>location</em><em> in New Jersey for the shooting of Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna from Manhattan ( Tarun was the 1st AD on the film) when he made me hear a scratch recording of the song Kuch Kam. That was the beginning of our journey to make Dostana.&nbsp;<br />
Cut to - Miami 2008.<br />
We started the shooting and within a few months completed and released the film. The rest, as they say, is history!&nbsp;<br />
Nothing about Dostana - for me- has got anything to do with history. All of it is still so fresh and vivid in my mind. But more importantly in my heart!&nbsp;<br />
A group of friends came together and made a fun film and had a ball</em><em>makin</em><em> it. And it showed. @priyankachopra, my </em><em>jiggerypoo</em><em> @thejohnabraham, @kirronkhermp, @boman_irani, @iambobbydeol, Sushmita </em><em>ji</em><em>, @theshilpashetty, @vishaldadlani1, @shekharravjiani, Bose, Amrita, Anvita, @manishmalhotra05, Aki, Natasha, all the AD'S and the coolest production crew ever...<br />
Thank you. We made such wonderful memories which we will keep forever.&nbsp;<br />
All of this was possible because one ( very small) boy worked tirelessly and diligently and held our hands and directed us all the way. @tarun_mansukhani. You are and always will be the soul of the film and I can never Thank you enough. The one person YOU (Tarun) should be thanking profusely is @karanjohar!!<br />
KJ, thank you for believing in all of us to make this film. Thank you for allowing us to make it the way we wanted to. But most of all... Thank you for the constant love and support you always give me. This film which completes 10 yrs today would not have been possible without your vision and belief!"&nbsp;</em></p>

As 'Dostana' clocked in 10 years, its lead actor Abhishek Bachchan took to Instagram to thank the cast and crew of the film. Bachchan shared a few behind the scene images from the film's set and which starred Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham, Bobby Deol and Kiran Kher apart from Bachchan.

As 'Dostana' clocked in 10 years, its lead actor Abhishek Bachchan took to Instagram to thank the cast and crew of the film. Bachchan shared a few behind the scene images from the film's set and which starred Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham, Bobby Deol and Kiran Kher apart from Bachchan. The film, released in 2008, was perhaps the first commercial film in Bollywood to talk about homosexuality alibi in a comic manner. Bachchan gave a long caption to the images and revealed that how he first heard of the film in 2005 while shooting for 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna'. Here's what Bachchan wrote, "2005 was the first time @karanjohar and @tarun_mansukhani told me the idea of #Dostana.

'Dostana' completes 10 years, Abhishek Bachchan calls director Tarun Mansukhani the 'soul of the film'

<p>Our desi girl Priyanka Chopra seems to be keen to star in some Hindi films as her last Bollywood film released in 2016, <em>Jai Gangaajal.</em> If reports are to be believed, Priyanka has been approached by filmmaker Shonali Bose to star in a film opposite her <em>Dostana</em> co-star Abhishek Bachchan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shonali made her directorial debut with Kalki Koechlin starrer <em>Margarita with a Straw</em> that went on to receive critical reviews and accolades for the actress for her performance. In the new film, Shonali wants Priyanka to essay the real-life hero, Aisha Chaudhary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Aisha, for those who are unaware, was a motivational speaker who was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 13. The teenager, however, continued her fight against the illness and even published a book titled My Little Epiphanies. She also held several motivational talks and speeches at the age of 15. Aisha breathed her last at the age of 18, succumbing to her disease.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a source quoted in a report published in a tabloid: "Shonali met with Abhishek recently on the sets of Manmarziyan and shared the idea with him. He liked it and she will be giving him the final narration soon. If he comes on board, Priyanka and he will play parents to the young protagonist casting for which is currently underway. Meanwhile, Shonali is working on the script and hopes to start shooting by the year-end."</p>

<p>Priyanka and Abhishek have managed to give several hit films together while looking good with each other on the screen.&nbsp;<br />

The movie will mark Priyanka’s return to Bollywood after a gap of two years.&nbsp;</p>
