Mumbai: After a fallout between Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar, Vikrant Massey reportedly replaced the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ actor in Dharma Productions’ upcoming film ‘Dostana 2’.
Amid speculation over the lead actress, reports suggest that Janhvi Kapoor, too, has been replaced by Sreeleela in the film.
“The story of Dostana 2 will remain the same but the cast and the director have been changed. Janhvi Kapoor, who was roped in to play the female lead earlier, is no longer a part of the film. Instead, the makers are considering Sreeleela for the part. Her dance number in Pushpa 2: The Rule has made her a much sought-after name in the movies. And the team of Dostana 2 are extremely keen on having her in the film,” a source told News18.
“The makers of Dostana 2 decided to recast the film, hoping to feature a set of actors who haven’t shared screen space in the past. It will indeed be interesting to see her chemistry with her co-stars,” the source added.
Last week, National Award winner Vikrant confirmed in an interview that he is set to work in ‘Dostana 2’, his first Dharma film. Lakshya is the other male lead in the film.
Asked about the female lead, Vikrant decided not to divulge details, leaving it to the filmmakers to make the announcement.
