Filmmaker Karan Johar said there’s been an evolution in the depiction of sexuality in Bollywood and his production, Dostana 2 will treat it with utmost sensitivity. The film, featuring Kartik Aaryan, Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya is a sequel to Dostana (2008). The original starred John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the lead and revolved around two men who pretend to be gay to share an apartment with a girl with whom they eventually fall in love.
When asked about the depiction of sexuality in the film, KJo said at an event on Sunday, “You will see that the representation is accurate, non-caricaturish and on point, talking about sexuality in a way that will not make you cringe while watching it.” Addressing certain things that men must change about Bollywood, the filmmaker said, “I can’t take back those songs that I put out there in cinema that have objectified women but I can say for a fact that I will not do it again.”
Dostana 2 will be bankrolled by Karan under his banner Dharma Productions. The film doesn't just mark the debut of director Collin D'Cunha but also of Lakshya, who was formerly known by the name of Laksh Lalvani, a popular face on TV. The film is likely to release in 2020.
