The role played by Priyanka Chopra in ‘Dostana’ directed by Tarun Mansukhani was first offered to Aishwarya Rai. But Aish felt that her real marriage to Abhishek Bachchan would overshadow the gay theme of the film, which might disappoint the audience. Apart from Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham also had an important role in the film.
This semi-hit film had collected a net of Rs 44.38 crore in India. Whereas its worldwide earning gross was Rs 82.86 crore.
