Actor John Abraham feels the makers of 2008-hit film "Dostana" are unlikely to pursue its sequel as homosexuality has been explored a lot in movies.
"I don't think Karan Johar (producer of 'Dostana') would want to make 'Dostana 2'. I think homosexuality as the topic has been explored too much. I don't think what you found funny five years back may not be funny today. There are some films that should be left alone. Even I feel 'Dostana 2' should be left like that," John told PTI.
The Tarun Mansukhani-directed "Dostana" was the story of two men - John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan - who pretend to be a gay couple in order to secure an apartment. Both fall in love with the same girl (played by Priyanka Chopra) and strive to win her heart, only to realise that she loves someone else.
Actor Varun Dhawan had earlier said that he and John, his co-star in the recently released film "Dishoom", would make a good pair in "Dostana 2".
Earlier the makers were planning to make a sequel of "Dostana", but nothing official has come out on its status so far.
