Popular filmmaker Karan Johar has said the script of his next project ‘Dostana 2' is ready and the shooting of the movie is likely to start in 2012.

'Dostana 2' is a sequel to the successful romantic comedy film 'Dostana'.

The film had hit the silver screen in 2008.

Karan Johar tweeted on Thursday, "DOSTANA 2 is definitely starting next year....Script is locked...abhishek and john are ready!!! the boys are back!! Tarun is all set...."

Bollywood will once again witness the comic-duo-John Abraham and Abhishek Bacchan in the film.

However, fans will miss 'Desi girl' Priyanka Chopra in the sequel, as she has been replaced by the gorgeous Katrina Kaif.

'Dostana 2' will be directed by Tarun Mansukhani and Karan Johar will produce it.
