This year, too, the ceremony will offer power-packed performances and a dose of suspense and excitement.

Sequels to successful movies is the happening trend in Bollywood.

Priyanka Chopra, who was the female lead in Dostana has lost the lead role in Dostana 2 to Katrina Kaif. The buzz is that she will be seen in an important scene in the film. Though she walked off into the sunset with Bobby Deol, director Tarun Mansukhani is making room for her in the sequel. He is currently putting the finishing touches to the script and has penned an interesting scene featuring both the actresses.

Katrina Kaif has been finalized for the sequel to Dostana which had Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham as two heterosexual men playing gay men due to unavoidable circumstances.

Recently the news of Ranbir Kapoor or Imran Khan replacing John upset many Dostana fans, and it seems like Karan Johar has paid attention to the response as Abhishek and John’s Dostana is very much happening in Dostana 2.

With this motive, he invited Abhi, Ash and Vivek to his party at ‘Mannat’.

Shah Rukh Khan helped the two gentlemen to erase the discomfort and created a lighter and friendly atmosphere between the two. The two actors after a while seemed comfortable at each other’s company.

Few days back, Vivek was also seen bridging the gap between him and the Bachchans by talking to Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan. The three got along very well.
