There
were
speculations
in
the
media
that
actor
Rajkummar
Rao
had
turned
down
Karan
Johar's
Dostana
2
as
he
was
skittish
about
playing
a
gay
character
on
screen.
The
film
now
stars
Kartik
Aaryan,
Janhvi
Kapoor
and
Lakshya
in
leading
roles.
Recently
in
a
tete-a-tete
with
a
news
portal,
Rao
refuted
these
reports
about
turning
down
Dostana
2
because
of
this
reason.
The
actor
said
that
he
is
surprised
to
hear
about
such
things
because
he
is
someone
who
constantly
strives
to
push
the
envelope
with
his
films.
Rajkummar
added
that
he
would
like
to
play
all
kinds
of
roles
and
be
part
of
different
stories.
According
to
him,
he
has
played
goofball,
a
terrorist,
a
lawyer,
and
so
on.
The
actor
said
that
he
won't
decline
any
role.
However,
in
an
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
Rao
had
revealed
that
he
couldn't
be
a
part
of
Dostana
2
because
of
date
issues.
The
actor
had
said
that
he
is
keen
to
work
with
Karan
Johar
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"He's
one
of
the
finest
filmmakers
in
the
country.
I
hope
something
works
out
soon
and
I
am
pretty
sure
that
it
will."
Reportedly,
in
Dostana
2,
Janhvi
Kapoor
and
Kartik
Aaryan
play
siblings
who
fall
for
the
same
guy,
essayed
by
Lakshya.
The
actress
had
revealed
that
the
film
helmed
by
Colin
D'Cunha
has
been
made
keeping
in
mind
the
sensibilities
of
the
current
times
and
the
team
is
conscious
about
depicting
an
authentic
representation
of
homosexuality.
Speaking
about
Rajkummar
Rao,
the
actor's
latest
outing
Roohi
released
in
theatres
last
week.
Further,
he
recently
wrapped
up
the
shooting
of
Badhaai
Do
alongside
Bhumi
Pednekar.
