It’s common knowledge by now that Karan Johar’s production Dostana is currently being shot in Miami where Abhishek Bachchan celebrated his wedding anniversary with wife Aishwarya Rai. The film starring John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra along with Abhishek is being directed by Karan’s erstwhile assistant Tarun Mansukhani. Karan admitted that this one too is a triangular love story but also went on to add that it will be genuinely different in terms of treatment and something not seen before in Hindi films.
Perhaps we could help you a bit to unveil one different element of the film. Rather two! As per industry insiders John has an interesting character in the film. He plays a not so straight person in the film. But that’s just for the sake of his friend played by Abhishek Bachchan in the film. Says an insider on condition of anonymity, “The love triangle in the film is between Abhishek-Priyanka-John. Abhishek loves Priyanka in the film. But Priyanka likes John. Abhishek and John play good friends. So for the sake of friend Abhishek, John fakes as if he is a gay to repel Priyanka”. This is the first time that John Abraham (or for that matter any mainstream actor) would be playing a gay character in a Hindi film.
But what’s the second surprise you ask? Ok here it is... Dostana also stars Bobby Deol in a cameo. And very interestingly Bobby too plays a gay character in the film. But for a change he actually enacts a gay character and doesn’t fake one like John Abraham. The insider adds, “Bobby plays a real gay in the film who is attracted to John Abraham who takes up the gay garb just for the sake of his friend”.
From the looks of it, this one isn’t quite a ‘straight’-forward story and one can actually expect a lot of difference.
