Confirmed! Vikrant Massey Joins Dostana 2 Alongside Lakshya, Replacing Kartik Aryan

While Dostana 2 has been dangling in Bollywood’s “coming soon” zone for what feels like forever, fans have never stopped manifesting it. The OG 2008 Dostana gave us Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, and Priyanka Chopra in one of the quirkiest films of its time. Now, years later, the sequel is finally picking up steam, with a shiny new cast! The once-announced lineup of Kartik Aaryan, Lakshya (yep, The Ba***ds of Bollywood boy), and Janhvi Kapoor has gone through a shuffle, and Vikrant Massey just confirmed he’s officially on board!

Vikrant Massey Joins the cast of Dostana 2

Fresh off winning a National Award for 12th Fail, Vikrant Massey is levelling up with his first-ever Dharma Productions movie. Talking about the film, the actor cheekily admitted he’s ready for the full Karan Johar treatment – designer fits, glam shades, and some passport-ready Europe locations. Essentially, Vikrant is poised to transition from gritty realism to glossy reels in short order.

Speaking to Times Now, Vikrant Massey said, “You will see me doing that soon. I think this news is already out. I don’t know why I’m not talking. I’m doing Dostana 2. I’m doing my first Dharma movie.”

Mystery Girl Alert!

While Vikrant was generous with details about himself and Lakshya, he zipped his lips when it came to the leading lady. He teased that Karan Johar will personally make that big reveal. She shared, “I think I won’t say that. Karan sir will handle the announcement. That’s also a big reveal.” He confirmed, “Lakshya is part of the movie. But let the girl be a surprise.”

The Kartik Twist We Can’t Stop Talking About

Now here’s the spicy bit. Remember when Kartik Aaryan was the poster boy of Dostana 2? Well, Dharma Productions made it official back in 2021 – they were recasting due to “professional circumstances”. Rumours of a fallout between Kartik and KJo lit up gossip columns, though neither spilled the tea. Fast forward to 2023, and the two were spotted sharing stage space in Melbourne, proving that in Bollywood, drama always has a sequel.

What’s Next For Dostana 2?

With Vikrant and Lakshya locked in, fans are buzzing harder than ever. A stylish Dharma rom-com with a pinch of nostalgia, a dash of drama, and a brand-new cast? This sequel might just be worth the wait. But the burning question remains – who’s the lucky actress stepping into this glamorous madness?
