Some reports suggested the dashing duo would return but along with Katrina Kaif, however, the idea was canned due to lack of a bound script. The second part finally flies off but with a fresh cast.
For the uninitiated, Dostana 2 stars Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya. Mansukhani has been replaced by Collin D'Cunha, another fresh name.
