After the shelved Dostana 2, the director loses out on yet another project. On January 29, Mirror had reported that
Tarun Mansukhani will direct the Hindi remake of
Pierre Salvador’s 2006 French film, Priceless, with Sidharth Malhotra as the barman who is mistaken for a millionaire by the gold-digging heroine.
Having finally shelved the Dostana sequel which he worked on for over five years without getting the nod from producer
Karan Johar, Tarun started work on the remake of the Audrey Tatou- Gad Elmaleh starrer.

Disney UTV.
Now, Mirror has learnt that Tarun is no longer a part of the project. Revealed a source close to the development, “He was working on the script but it hasn’t worked out for him. Now, even Karan has dropped out.”
However, the project hasn’t been shelved. Disney UTV, which has the rights for the Hindi remake, is keen to adapt it for the Indian screen but not with Tarun. “They are in talks with other directors and a name should be finalised soon.”
We sent a text message to Tarun who chose not to respond.
