Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar
Karan has had several meetings with his creative team and the director to brainstorm casting ideas. The names they have identified include Akshay Kumar, Rajkumar Rao, Varun Dhawan, Siddharth Malhotra, and Siddhant Chaturvedi. However, Karan Johar tries his best to get Akshay to join the team, since he is the biggest star of the movie. Among all the mentioned names he will take the Dostana franchise to the next level, ”a source told Glammpop.

This is not everything; The idea behind casting Akshay is also simple. “Karan Johar wants an outsider to avoid any internal versus external discussion that gives nepotism rebirth. Therefore, the first choice is Akshay. But if things don’t work out, he will continue to explore collaborations with the other actors. Among the five abbreviated names, 4 are outsiders, and therefore a safe bet for now. The basic idea is to replace an outsider with an outsider, “the source also told us.
