Janhvi Kapoor reveals if Dostana 2 was shelved because of Kartik Aaryan-Karan Johar feud, says, “I don’t think it was that”

Janhvi Kapoor is an actor par excellence and there is no two opinions on that. The actress is winning hearts with her looks as she is gearing up for release of Mr and Mrs Mahi. A few years back, the actress was a part of Karan Johar’s Dostana 2 alongside Kartik Aaryan. However, the film got shelved due to an alleged tiff between the actor and producer. In a recent interview, Janhvi Kapoor has revealed the real reason behind Dostana 2 getting shelved.

Janhvi Kapoor on Dostana 2 getting shelved

In a recent interview with The Lallantop, when Janhvi was asked why Dostana 2 was not being made anymore. She shared, “I don’t know really. We had even shot for that film for about 30 to 35 days. The shoot was going very well, according to me. I don’t know why the film was shelved honestly. Of course, I tried asking also, but I guess (it was because) we began shooting for that film long before Covid. And then Covid happened and essentially there was a one-and-a-half years delay. Then people felt that to restart the film… I don’t know.”

When nudged further and asked if she doesn’t want to mention the fight between Kartik and Karan Johar, she said, “I don’t think it was that. I think work is extremely important for both of them. But unke beech kya hua kya nahi hua (what happened between the two of them), you should ask them about it.”

If reports are to be believed, Kartik had walked out of Dharma Productions’ film due to “creative differences”. However, there were also rumours making the rounds that the actor’s “unprofessional behaviour” irked Karan and that’s why he was no longer a part of the now-shelved movie. Well, looks like the duo have buied the hatchet as KJo announced a film with Kartik which is set to release in 2025.
