There have been hushed whispers about Priyanka Chopra being roped in for a special role in Dostana 2, but the actress has denied being part of the film.

“I am not part of `Dostana 2'. I was never doing Dostana two...reason being my love story ends in the first film...so where is the question. This was cleared some 2 years ago,” she said on micro-blogging site twitter.

However, she did not deny that she might make a cameo appearance in the film.

"And when it comes to a special appearance or something, that's a much later call,” Priyanka said.

Dostana sequel is still in the works and a final script is yet to be locked in by producer Karan Johar and director Tarun Mansukhani. It’s being said that Katrina Kaif is under consideration for the leading role opposite Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the film.

But the latest buzz trickling from tinsel town has it that creative differences between Johar and Mansukhani have thrown a spanner in the works.

If you’ve been waiting to see how Katrina Kaif and Abhishek Bachchan look on-screen, don’t hold your breath. With Dostana 2 in jeopardy, it doesn’t look like the two will be working together in the near future.

Katrina had reportedly given her word to producer Karan Johar and director Tarun Mansukhani that she would keep her pairing with Abhishek Bachchan exclusive to this sequel to Dostana. True to her word, Kat turned down many offers to work opposite the junior Bachchan lilke Abbas-Mustan’s Players and Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ladies & Gentlemen.

But Karan and Mansukhani have not been on the best of terms over some creative ideas about the film, and it doesn’t look like they will be resolved in the near future. That also puts the future of ‘Dostana 2’ unsure.

After the success of ‘Dostana’ in 2008 with Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham, Karan and Tarun wanted to make the sequel even better retaining Abhishek and John, and adding Katrina Kaif, Abhay Deol, Dino Morea and Ritesh Deshmukh to the cast.
