Speculations about Karan Johar's Dostana sequel have been doing the rounds since quite a while now. Ever since Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham entertained us in the 2008 film, fans have been wondering if a second part is in the works. While Karan had earlier confirmed that the film will get a sequel and that too with a new cast, several A-lister names have been speculated to be a part of it. Karan Johar took to Twitter today, teasing the announcement of the sequel with a video. Guilty First Look: Kiara Advani Ditches Her 'Preeti' Avatar For Something Dark and Rebellious.
While Karan kept the details of the film a mystery, the video suggests at same-sex relationships with its illustrations, thus hinting that we will finally get an update on Dostana 2. Last we heard, the film will star Janhvi Kapoor along with Rajkummar Rao and John Abraham. In January this year, Karan had tweeted saying, "For the record.....NO ONE has been officially approached for DOSTANA 2!!!! Some thoughts and ideas are underway but nothing official has moved." But recent reports do suggest that Janhvi, Raj and John may have been finalised.

Looking at the video, it seems the film may even star two actresses and that the story may have a lesbian angle this time considering the illustration shows two girl emojis too. While Dostana entertained audiences, it also received a lot of flak for stereotyping homosexuality and using crass humour at their expense. We certainly hope the second time around, the makers will be more careful about it.

As for the cast, we are not sure yet whether John Abraham will reprise his role from the original or be introduced as a new character in the sequel. Looks like we will have to wait till tomorrow for more details on the film.
