Telugu star Sreeleela is reportedly being considered for the role of female lead opposite Lakshya and Vikrant Massey in Karan Johar’s Dostana 2. The much-talked-about sequel was shelved shortly after its first schedule in 2020, following reported differences between Kartik Aaryan and producer Karan Johar. According to industry sources, it was Kartik Aaryan who recommended Sreeleela’s name for the role, given his renewed rapport with Dharma Productions. While the story will largely remain the same, both the director and the lead actors have been replaced. Originally, Janhvi Kapoor was signed on as the female lead, but with her exit from the film, Sreeleela seems to be the frontrunner.
