Filmmaker Exits 'Dostana 2' Over Creative Clash
6 Jun
Summary
- Director Advait Chandan has left the 'Dostana 2' project.
- Creative differences led to Chandan's departure from the film.
- This marks another setback for the long-troubled 'Dostana 2' sequel.

Filmmaker Advait Chandan has parted ways with Dharma Productions' 'Dostana 2', a project he had been developing for approximately seven months. The decision to step away was reportedly due to a divergence in creative vision between Chandan and the producers.
This development signifies the latest in a series of challenges for the sequel to the 2008 hit 'Dostana'. The film was first announced in 2019 with a different cast and director, only to be shelved later.
Dharma Productions later revived the project with a new concept. Reports indicated Vikrant and Lakshya were considered for lead roles, with Sini Shetty possibly taking the female lead. Chandan was then brought on board, bringing his acclaimed storytelling style to the film.
Chandan, known for balancing commercial appeal with emotional depth, previously directed 'Loveyapa' and the Aamir Khan starrer 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. His exit adds another chapter to the turbulent production history of 'Dostana 2'.
