Dostana is about friendship and not gay sexuality

dostaanaTarun Mansukhani, the director of upcoming film ‘Dostana’ says that John and Abhishek play best friends and not gay couple in `Dostana`.

“They don`t behave as gay. They behave as normal friends,” says Tarun, who turns director for the first time after assisting Karan Johar in `Kal Ho Na Ho`.

“In fact, gays never behave in any particular way. Their behaviour is not different from all of us. Its our own perception about gays that makes us think that they behave in a particular way,” he clarifies, while adding that he has not stereotyped the gay community in `Dostana`.

“John and Abhishek lie that they are a gay couple, and so all other characters presumes them to be gay, which brings in the fun quotient to the film,” he says.

Priyanka Chopra can’t stop dreaming about the new love in her life.

She said, “No, he isn’t Harman. It’s Boo, a pet robot teedy-bear who was in Love Story 2050. He’s the cutest creature on earth so I want to take him home.”

Priyanka says, “This film filled with gadgets and electronic toys. But Boo is special, because he’s mine. Love Story 2050 is my second hi-tech film after Krissh, and third will be Drona“.
