Karan's nostalgic title!

Yes Karan Johar at the moment is elated. The reason' he has decided to name his new production starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra after a hit film of his father from 1980 after his father's film 'Dostana'. The director is very nostalgic about this development. The film directed by his assistant Tarun Mansukhani is set in Miami, the shoot for which starts this summer.

Karan who was, till some time back, stuck to the title of his films beginning with the letter 'K' has let go that rule for sure now, and is very thrilled about this title. This is what he had to say regarding the naming: "For a long time we had no title for Tarun Mansukhani's brilliant script. It is funny, sassy, hilarious'and it's about the friendship between these two guys played by Abhishek and John. So, I don't know why it took us so long to hit on the right title. 'Dostana', it is. I was waiting for Tarun to return from the location before firming in on the title."

Karan gets nostalgic about the title. "You know when my father produced 'Dostana' in 1980 he was going through hard times. But all the three principal actors Amit Uncle (Bachchan), Shatrughan Sinhaji and Zeenat Aman co-operated to the fullest. That's how the film was made."

So can we expect this new 'Dostana' be a love triangle like the old one? "Ha! Well, yes and no. Though it's a love story there's a never-before twist in the tale. All I can say on-record is that we've never had a love triangle like this before. And you'll never see Abhishek and John playing something like this again," promises Karan.

He's also relieved that there was no title hassle. "For 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' I had to ask Aroona Irani aunty. She sweetly gave me the title in exchange for a pappi (kiss). For 'Dostana', I had to kiss nobody, except my father's memory" says a relieved Karan.
