It
was
one
huge
party
in
Miami
when
Abhishek
Bachchan,
John
Abraham,
Priyanka
Chopra
and
company
got
together
for
the
shooting
of
Dostana.
As
the
film
releases
all
over
today,
John
Abraham
reveals
to
us
on
how
the
bonding
game
was
played
between
the
young
cast
and
crew
members
and
how
Tarun
Mansukhani,
director
of
the
film,
kept
his
hold
on
the
project
even
as
it
came
with
the
tag
of
Karan
Johar
as
the
film's
producer.
Apart
from
Abhishek,
one
hears
that
you
bonded
big
time
with
Tarun
as
well?
It
was
great
to
have
fun
with
all
the
young
ones
around
in
Miami.
Tarun,
Abhi,
myself
-
all
of
us
are
in
the
same
age
group.
As
for
his
professional
capabilities,
Tarun
has
assisted
Karan
from
'Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai'
days.
This
makes
it
11
long
years
for
a
film
maker
to
be
associated
with
an
accomplished
director
like
Karan
Johar.
This
way
Tarun
has
more
of
Dharma
blood
in
him
than
I
have.
But
how
much
was
Karan
involved
with
the
project,
since
Tarun
has
just
started
off?
It
goes
without
saying
that
with
Karan
around,
there
is
a
definite
reassurance
that
your
project
would
reach
out
to
it's
audience
well.
Karan
is
a
genius;
he
knows
how
to
market
his
films.
However,
on
the
ground
level,
it
was
Tarun
all
the
way.
Even
when
Tarun
was
giving
the
narration
to
me,
Karan
was
only
sitting
there
without
interfering
at
all.
Tarun
knew
from
the
very
inception
that
how
would
he
execute
'Dostana'
and
picturise
his
scenes.
He
had
no
doubts
whatsoever.
One
also
hears
that
he
is
cool
as
cucumber.
True.
Hours
before
the
release
of
'Dostana',
when
I
asked
him
if
he
was
nervous,
he
said
he
was
super
confident.
He
told
me
-
'John,
I
have
done
many
films
in
the
past,
though
in
a
different
capacity
than
the
prime-in-charge.
However,
I
have
been
in
this
situation
before
so
it
is
nothing
new
to
me.'
That
shows
the
confidence
of
a
man
in
his
craft
and
product.
Possibly
also
because
it's
a
safe
commercial
film;
notwithstanding
the
gay
angle
that
may
shock
a
few.
Of
course
'Dostana'
is
a
safe
film.
It
is
not
experimental
because
one
thing
which
comes
very
clear
from
a
Dharma
production
is
that
it
has
to
be
a
fun
commercial
film.
Yes,
'Dostana'
is
first
of
it's
kind
though
but
I
was
very
confident
from
the
word
Go!
Moreover,
your
co-stars
make
a
lot
of
difference
to
your
association
with
t
a
project.
I
was
very
happy
with
Abhi
and
Priyanka
around
because
while
I
connect
very
well
with
Priyanka,
Abhi
is
like
my
brother.
Never
once
did
the
thought
cross
between
the
two
of
us
that
who
had
to
be
superior
in
the
film.
