In another tweet, the filmmaker cleared that Lakshya is not from the film industry and has been selected through a “legit audition process”.
“Yes, I woke up to several inquiries asking about his film industry connections!!! He is NOT from the business and went through a legit audition process !! Am grateful to Shanoo Sharma for introducing LAKSHYA to @DharmaMovies,” he wrote.
Earlier, Karan had announced the sequel of the 2008 comedy-drama ‘Dostana’ and tweeted that apart from Kartik and Janhvi, the film will star a ‘suitable boy.’
The film directed by Collin D’Cunha is penned by Navjot Gulati, Sumit Aroraa, Rishabh Sharma and D’Cunha.
Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, and Abhishek Bachchan-starrer 2008 release ‘Dostana’ caused quite a stir among the audience with its unique and humorous plotline and the fact that it dealt with the less talked about subject of homosexuality.
