Dostana was quite well-liked by most people, and Dharma gave us a pleasant surprise some time back when it announced a sequel to the film. Directed by Collin D’Cunha, Dostana 2 will star Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles. The third lead was kept under wraps for quite some time, but now the cat is out of the bag. He is a newcomer and his name is Lakshya.
Dharma Productions’ post on Twitter read, “This family just got bigger! Welcoming #Lakshya, the newest member of the #Dharma family & the #Dostana2 cast. Buckle up, it's going to be a beautiful journey ahead!”
Even Karan Johar took to Twitter to extend a warm welcome to Lakshya. “Both happy and excited to introduce the new kid on the Dharma block! LAKSHYA will be making his debut with us in #DOSTANA2 and from thereon, we hope to start a solid cinematic journey together! Please welcome #Lakshya and shower him with all your love and blessings...”, the filmmaker wrote.
Going by his Instagram profile, Lakshya seems to be an outsider in the industry. “Overwhelmed and grateful” for this opportunity, Lakshya expressed his happiness on the social media platform. “Overwhelmed, grateful & down right EXCITED for this wonderful new beginning! Thank you for this welcome into the #Dharma family, can't wait to get started on #Dostana2! @Dharmamovies”, the debutant wrote.
Dharma had earlier shared the news about the film with a cheeky video announcing the cast and crew of the film, writing, “Taking the iconic franchise forward! Presenting #Dostana2, starring @TheAaryanKartik, #Janhvi & a suitable boy, announcing soon! Directed by @collinDcunha. Let the madness roll! @karanjohar @apoorvamehta18”
