New Delhi: Bollywood's dashing actor Kartik Aaryan who currently has a handful of films in his kitty including Pati Patni Aur Woh, Bhool Bhulaiya, among others have started preparation for his next film Dostana 2 which also stars Janhvi Kapoor.

The young actor too shared a picture of him posing with the film's script on the photo-sharing application Instagram on Monday and captioned it with, "The preparations of Dostana2 begin."

Besides Kartik and Janhvi, Dostana 2 will mar debut of Lakshya in the lead role. Some time back, filmmaker Karan Johar who is bankrolling the film under his banner Dharma Productions had announced Lakshya's entry in the film.

In another tweet, the filmmaker took a dig at the nepotism charges against him and cleared that Lakshya is not from the film industry and has been selected through a "legit audition process".

Earlier, Karan had announced the sequel of the 2008 comedy-drama Dostana and tweeted that apart from Kartik and Janhvi, the film will star a 'suitable boy.'

The film directed by Collin D'Cunha is penned by Navjot Gulati, Sumit Aroraa, Rishabh Sharma and D'Cunha.

Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham, and Abhishek Bachchan-starrer 2008 release Dostana caused quite a stir among the audience with its unique and humorous plotline and the fact that it dealt with the less talked about subject of homosexuality.
