While
people
know
that
Dostana
2
has
got
postponed
to
next
year
because
of
creative
differences
between
producer
Karan
Johar
and
director
Tarun
Mansukhani,
B-Town
sources
say
that's
not
all.
Says
a
source,
"A
few
weeks
ago
Karan
and
Tarun
had
a
rift.
Apparently,
Tarun
taking
potshots
on
Dharma
Productions'
last
releases,
Kurbaan,
My
Name
Is
Khan
and
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
hasn't
gone
down
well
with
KJo.
The
Dostana
director
feels
the
producer
should
be
doing
better
quality
stuff.
When
Kurbaan
didn't
do
well
Tarun
felt
vindicated
but
it
was
Karan's
turn
to
smile
when
My
Name
Is
Khan
and
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
both
did
well
at
the
BO." Trouble
began
with
Mansukhani
voicing
his
opinion
to
people
outside
of
Dharma.
When
this
got
back
to
the
Dharma
boss,
he
confronted
Tarun,
which
led
to
an
argument.
Things
have
apparently
become
so
serious
that
unless
the
two
sort
out
their
differences
(and
it
looks
very
difficult),
Dostana
2
will
either
be
shelved
or
will
get
a
new
director.
The
official
reason
being
given
for
the
delay
of
the
John
Abraham,
Abhishek
Bachchan
starrer
is
that
Karan
(and
a
focus
group)
didn't
like
the
second
half
of
D2.
An
insider
rubbishes
the
rumours
of
tension
between
the
two
friends,
"Tarun
wasn't
happy
with
the
script
and
wanted
to
work
on
it
further.
Karan
realised
that
everyone's
dates
had
been
wasted
and
apologised
to
all
his
stars,
especially
Katrina
Kaif,
who
had
blocked
her
dates
and
was
banking
on
this
film
to
be
her
big
release
next
year."
Karan
says,
"We
are
very,
very,
very
happy
with
the
script
of
Dostana
2.
Tarun
is
a
perfectionist
and
he
took
the
call
to
delay
it.
And
as
a
producer
I
have
to
support
him.
The
film
will
begin
by
early
2011
and
will
release
in
the
latter
half
of
2011.
John,
Katrina
and
Abhishek
will
act
in
it.
We
want
to
give
our
best
and
all
our
time
and
attention
to
Dostana
2,
as
it
will
be
Dharma's
biggest
production
till
date.
A
sequel
has
more
expectations
and
we
want
to
live
up
to
the
expectations.
We
are
all
excited
about
the
film
and
the
rest
are
all
ridiculous
rumours.
Tarun
is
my
adopted
baby
and
I
am
very
proud
that
he's
so
hardworking
and
wanted
the
perfect
script."
Tarun
Mansukhani
remained
unavailable
for
comment.
