Wait,
what?
If
that's
your
reaction,
we
totally
get
you!
Ever
since
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions
made
the
exit
of
Kartik
Aaryan
from
Dostana
2
official
via
its
Instagram
page,
the
film
is
constantly
in
the
headlines
for
all
the
wrong
reasons.
On
one
side,
rumours
of
Kartik's
replacement
has
left
people
intrigued
while
on
the
other
side,
netizens
are
extremely
upset
with
the
news
of
Kartik's
abrupt
exit
from
Dostana
2.
Now,
amid
all
the
hullabaloo,
we
hear
that
Karan
Johar
has
requested
actor
Akshay
Kumar
to
come
on
board
for
Dostana
2,
and
save
him
from
the
tricky
situation.
HT
City
quoted
a
source
close
to
Karan
as
saying,
"Karan
Johar
has
personally
requested
Akshay
to
come
on
board
Dostana
2
and
help
him
out,
as
lots
of
money
has
already
been
invested
in
the
shoot
of
the
film.
So,
in
all
likelihood,
Akshay
will
join
the
cast."
It
is
yet
to
be
seen
if
Akshay
will
accept
Karan's
offer.
Considering
his
jam-packed
schedule
for
his
upcoming
projects,
it
would
be
quite
right
to
assume
that
Akshay
might
not
give
his
nod
to
Karan.
For
the
unversed,
Akshay
has
many
projects
in
his
kitty
including,
Sooryavanshi,
Bell
Bottom,
Ram
Setu,
Bachchan
Pandey,
Raksha
Bandhan,
Prithviraj
and
Atrangi
Re.
Meanwhile,
rumours
are
also
rife
that
actors
like
Rajkummar
Rao
and
Vicky
Kaushal
were
also
approached
by
Dharma
Productions
for
Kartik's
replacement,
but
nothing
has
been
finalised
yet.
While
Kartik
is
ousted
from
Dostana
2,
Dharma
Productions
has
not
said
a
word
about
the
other
two
lead
casts-
Janhvi
Kapoor
and
Laksh
Lalwani.
Reportedly,
Janhvi
and
Laksh
play
siblings
in
Dostana
2
who
fall
in
love
with
the
same
guy.
