On being asked by an Indo-Australian media outlet present at the press conference about them working together, Karan Johar said: “We did attempt to work together once in the past but that didn’t materialise. But we are working together on something. Hopefully this will materialise.
Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar were supposed to work on the sequel of 2008 film ‘Dostana’ starring John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Abhishek Bachchan.
