Finally, the first promo of Dostana produced under Karan Johar’s banner Dharma Productions and directed by Tarun Mansukhani was unveiled along with the prints of Bachna Ae Haseeno. Dostana starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol in the lead is all set for a November 14th release. The film also has a song featuring Shilpa Shetty dancing along John and Abhishek on the Miami beaches.
What makes the promo interesting is the only dialogue said in it by John standing next to Abhishek - ‘Hum Gay Hain!…Yeh Mera Boyfriend Hai’ (pointing to Abhishek). Karan Johar had promised in his earlier interviews that his Dostana will feature a never before heard of a love triangle. Now we have understood what he really meant! The slick promo also features a lot of skin display what with Priyanka Chopra in a swimsuit walking on the Miami beaches and and John Abraham too ala Baywatch! Interestingly, there were a lot ooh aahs by the female audience in the cinema halls when John the camera was shown caressing a bare bodied John Abraham.
According to sources the plot of Dostana is - “John and Abhishek play best friends who are willing to do anything for one another. Abhishek falls in love with Priyanka Chopra but Priyanka falls for John. When John knows this, he pretends to be gay so that Priyanka opts for Abhishek. But matters complicate further on arrival of Bobby Deol who plays a real gay, as he ends up falling for John!”
