Reacting to the same, Raj has refuted all such reports and told a news portal that he wants to play diverse characters in as many movies as possible. He says he would not decline any character as he has played a goofball, a terrorist, a lawyer, and so on in his previous projects.

Directed by Collin D’Cunha, ‘Dostana 2’ stars Kartik Aryan, Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Lakshya.

Speaking about Rajkummar Rao’s upcoming films, he will be next seen in Badhaai Do alongs Bhumi Pednekar. The film revolves around the concept of lavender marriage - two individuals tie the knot to hide their sexual orientation from the society, which unfortunately stigmatises homosexuality.
