Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan resume work on spy comedy backed by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga: Report Actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan made headlines in April 2024 after reports suggested that the two would be teaming up for a film backed by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. At the time, Bollywood Hungama had also confirmed that the project had gone on floors in May 2024. However, after generating initial buzz, the untitled film seemingly disappeared from the spotlight. Reports suggested that the shoot was halted after the first schedule was wrapped up. Now, it appears that the project is back on track. According to a report by Mid-Day, work on the film has progressed considerably over the last two months. The lead actors recently completed an extensive schedule in Mumbai in February, which reportedly included the filming of a large-scale song sequence.

Is Lakshya Lalwani stepping away from Dostana 2? Here’s what we know! Actor Lakshya Lalwani, who gained attention for his performance in The Ba***ds of Bollywood directed by Aryan Khan and released on Netflix in 2025, may reportedly be stepping away from Dostana 2 following fresh delays in the project. Lakshya’s journey in the industry has seen several ups and downs. Two of his early high-profile films — Bedhadak, co-starring Shanaya Kapoor and Gurfateh Pirzada, and Dostana 2 — had earlier faced setbacks. The latter, backed by Dharma Productions and directed by Collin D'Cunha, was initially announced with Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles. In 2021, Dharma Productions confirmed that the film would be recast due to “professional circumstances,” after which Kartik exited the project. Despite the changes, Lakshya was expected to remain part of the sequel. However, according to a recent report by Filmfare, the project has once again been delayed, which could lead to Lakshya’s exit from the film. The report claims that actor Vikrant Massey will continue to be associated with the project even if the cast undergoes changes. A source quoted in the report said, “Dostana 2 is happening for sure but the cast isn't locked as of now. ” As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding Lakshya’s departure. Earlier, Vikrant Massey had confirmed his involvement in the film during an interaction with Times Now. Speaking about the project, he said, “I'm doing Do... #Vikrant_Massey #Dharma_Productions #Lakshya #Lakshya_Lalwani #Dostana #Lalwani_stepping #project #Aryan_Khan #Lalwani #Shanaya_Kapoor
Collin D’Cunha roped in to direct Aditya Roy Kapur starrer produced by Dharma Productions: Report In a fresh update on Karan Johar’s upcoming horror venture with Aditya Roy Kapur, filmmaker Collin D’Cunha has reportedly been approached to direct the project. According to a recent report by Variety India, the film is shaping up to be an unconventional genre blend — a slasher comedy that mixes satire, witty dialogue, gore and exaggerated performances. The development adds a new layer of intrigue to the project, which was first reported by Bollywood Hungama in January. At the time, it was revealed that Aditya Roy Kapur had signed on to headline a horror thriller backed by Karan Johar’s banner, Dharma Productions. Now, with Collin D’Cunha — known for his work on Call Me Bae and Do You Wanna Partner — being considered for the director’s chair, the film is expected to lean heavily into a playful and self-aware tone while retaining elements of horror. Sources suggest the film’s style and storytelling approach could be reminiscent of the cult parody franchise Scary Movie, combining genre tropes with humour and over-the-top moments. When the project was first reported earlier this year, a source shared details about how the collaboration came together. “Karan Johar has locked a horror thriller for his banner, Dharma Productions and has roped in Aditya Roy Kapur to play the lead character. Adi read the script and didn't take long to come on board. It's a unique project, and ever... #Karan_Johar #Dharma_Productions #Aditya_Roy #Roy_Kapur #direct_Aditya #Collin_D’Cunha #starrer_produced #fresh_update #filmmaker_Collin #Kapur_starrer

With its sharp writing, viral dialogues, memorable music, and endearing performances, the film has earned a special place in the hearts of audiences, making its theatrical re-release a nostalgic treat for fans and a delightful discovery for a new generation. Talking about the re-release, the producer of the film, Karan Johar, said, "Hasee Toh Phasee has a very special and warm place in my heart. It wasn’t a conventional love story; it was awkward, unpredictable, and beautifully flawed, much like love itself. A love story of misfits, as I fondly call it, the film celebrates the idea that you don’t fall in love with perfection; you fall in love with chaos, with individuality, with someone who turns your world delightfully upside down.
