Priyanka Chopra would not be seen in Dostana the sequel

Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani has reportedly opted for Katrina Kaif instead. Sources divulge, "Katrina was chosen to play the female lead after much deliberation. Dharma Productions has auditioned dozens of new girls.

Actually, they wanted a fresh face for Dostana 2. But finally, after a tedious Google search, they felt that Katrina's 'most hit' status on the Internet makes it apt for her to play the role of the 'most hit' girl by the boys in Dostana 2."

It seems that Dostana 2 will be just as entertaining as its predecessor; however Riteish Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal will join Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham.

It has been reported that Katrina Kaif has already agreed to star opposite John despite reported issues between Salman and John, and has also agreed to act opposite Abhishek Bachchan regardless of the differences with Aishwariya.
