Mumbai: Sometime back, there were reports that Katrina was set to become the leading lady in the sequel of Priyanka Chopra starrer ‘Dostana’. And now, according to latest news, it’s not Kat but Kareena who’s been roped in by filmmaker Karan Johar for the same.
Kareena has recently completed ‘Kurbaan’ with KJo’s production house, and is currently working on ‘Stepmom’, co-starring Kajol, by the same banner. And the buzz is that the actress is all set to take over the leading lady’s title from Priyanka Chopra in the ‘Dostana’ series.

The film will now see none other than Bollywood hunks Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham wooing Kareena, not Kat or Piggy Chops. Although Bebo hasn’t been on good terms with both Abhi and John previously, the actors have now agreed to work together.

A source told a news daily, “Ironically, Kareena had been dropped from the first ‘Dostana’ because she couldn’t work with Abhishek. And now she’s back in ‘Dostana 2’. Never say never again, at least in Bollywood, where equations change every Friday.”

On the other hand, refuting the rumours of Katrina’s ouster from the much-anticipated venture, director Tarun Mansukhani said that he had never finalised Katrina for this one. “How could I finalise anyone until I finished the script except John and Abhishek who are an integral part of the ‘Dostana’ brand,” he asks.

About casting Kareena, the director said, “We are almost done with the script. At the moment I’m neither confirming not denying Kareena’s presence.”
