Karan Johar reject his next movie ‘Dostana2’?

The King of candy floss movies Karan Johar was all poised to add some extra froth, naughtiness and fun to the sequel of his romantic comedy ‘Dostana’ but the latest reports reveal that he might have to drop the project now.

‘Dostana’ explored the story of two men who pretended to be gay in order to rent an apartment from an older lady. The flick proved to be a trendsetter and was declared a roaring success. Its second part ‘Dostana 2 was long awaited by the fans but to their shock the sequel is being put on hold now.

The director Tarun Mansukhani tried hard to pen down an ideal script for ‘Dostana 2’ but all went down the drains. The film was being co-produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions in association with UTV Motion Pictures. Karan Johar was very open about the plans that the team was putting in for Dostana 2, he had roped in Barbie Doll Katrina Kaif for the second installment. However Tarun was not been able to finalize a script that satisfied Karan.

The media vine suggests that the first half of the film has already been locked but the trouble is with the second half of the film. The writers have not been able to put together a striking second half better than the original one.

Apparently, after rejecting several drafts of the script for the movie, the failed efforts have now gotten onto Karan’s nerves who now want to move on to making other films.

Ranbir beats SRK!

Shah Rukh Khan might be the undisputed King of Bollywood, but it's Ranbir Kapoor who reigns in the world of PR strategy and popularity.

In a survey conducted by Eikona, the Specialised Content and PR Measurement Evaluation Unit division of TAM (Television Audience Measurement)

Across four cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore, Ranbir Kapoor has got the maximum votes - 39 points out of 40.

As the top actor who has garnered maximum publicity because of the publicity campaign generated for Wake Up Sid.

Sanjay Dutt is a close second at (37). But strangely, SRK is at the bottom of the list.

(on number 10) in terms of PR and media coverage managing only 4 points out of 40.

Even the media-shy Salman Khan beats SRK with a score of 21 while Aamir tops Salman with 25. Hrithik Roshan comes third with a score of 32.

So what's the reason for this Kapoor boy's popularity? Ranbir tells a daily, "I really don't know if I should be thankful or apologetic about it. I guess it's also because of the multiplex strike that three films of mine are releasing back to back. But I will make a conscious effort next time to space my releases."

In an interview to a daily, Karan Johar says, "If Ranbir tops the list it's because of his publicity done for Wake Up Sid for which I would like to thank his efficient publicist. I would also thank Ranbir for being so supportive about our PR strategy.

Both Ranbir, my publicist, publicity designer Divya and Ayaan (Mukherjee) have all worked to promote and project Ranbir and Wake Up Sid the correct manner. If Ranbir has created a buzz it's because we have targeted the demography of the youth and we all know that the youth dictates a large section of viewing audiences today. It's all about youth power."

Surprisingly, Karan's best friend Shah Rukh is seen at the bottom of the list. KJo defends SRK, "Shah Rukh is above any ratings. He won't come under any ratings. He is a national and international icon and not to be put into these ratings. Which product won't sell if Shah Rukh endorses it? He's almost the face of the entertainment world above and beyond ratings."
