Filmmaker Karan Johar recently shared a heartfelt note on Instagram, offering fans and followers a glimpse into his journey as a producer and his excitement for an upcoming cinematic venture. Johar speaks about the evolution of Dharma Productions and underscores his passion for nurturing new talent in Bollywood in his Instagram post.
Karan Johar pens trivia for trolls ahead of launching 24th director under Dharma Productions’ banner: “I rarely write notes before the release of a film but…”
A Nostalgic Look Back at Dharma’s Beginnings
In the note, Johar takes a nostalgic look back to 2003, when he began actively producing films with Kal Ho Naa Ho. He writes, “When I began producing films (once I stepped into Dharma as an active part of the company), in 2003 with Kal Ho Naa Ho – the idea was to empower filmmakers and storytellers…to pay it forward. We got it right…we got it wrong – but the intent was always to put out stories and films we believed in.” He added that the driving force behind Dharma’s projects has always been clear: “The motive was only either entertain, seek acclaim or to simply have fun at the movies!”
Empowering New Talent: A Legacy of Debutants
A key highlight of the note is Johar’s pride in introducing the 24th debutant filmmaker to Hindi cinema through Dharma Productions. With a touch of humor aimed at his critics, he adds, “(Trivia for trollers: 90% of them are ‘outsiders’).” Johar admits that he rarely pens such notes before a film’s release, making this message all the more significant. “I rarely write notes before the release of a film but few films excite me, energise me and inspire me the way the process of this film has…” he shares.
He praises the collaborative producer and debutant director for their relentless dedication over the past four years, navigating challenges like pandemic delays and unforeseen obstacles. “The director did nothing else but put his head down and work relentlessly on his film – combating pandemic delays and other unforeseen circumstances,” Johar notes, highlighting the perseverance that has fueled the project.
Gratitude and Pride for the Team
The filmmaker also expresses gratitude to the team of actors and technicians who supported the film with “consistent support and love.” While acknowledging the unpredictability of box-office success, Johar remains unequivocal in his pride: “One can never predict commercial success BUT what I can say with all my heart is that this film is one of Dharma’s proudest films! I say this as a filmmaker and an audience…” This statement hints at a deeply personal connection to the project, positioning it as a labor of love for both Johar and Dharma Productions.
A Prayer for Passion and Audience Connection
Closing on an emotional note, Johar offers a prayer for the team: “I pray for the team that the audience is coloured in the colour of their passion…” He ends with a warm invitation to moviegoers, signing off with, “See you at the movies! Karan Johar.” Shared against an orange background with black text, the post has quickly captured attention, sparking curiosity about the mysterious film that has inspired such passion in the celebrated producer.
Many believe that the director is hinting at the announcement of Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, as it is the directorial debut of Karan Singh Tyagi. Meanwhile, many speculated that the note was for Dharma Productions’ Punjabi film, Akaal.
