Karan is also back on his director's chair with three newcomers - Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt in Student Of The Year. The film was undoubtedly a success at the box office and Karan is overwhelmed with the response.
The last two years saw Dharma Productions in a complete different light as they introduced varied genres of films. Karan has valiantly attempted to experiment across genres along with encouraging fresh talent.
Karan Malhotra and Shakun Batra have stood by their producer's expectations and have kept up the Dharma legacy by delivering successful films like Agneepath and Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. Karan is known to have complete faith on his directors and go all out there to help them deliver their best.
Karan Johar has launched many new directors in the last couple of years, including Ayan Mukerji with Wake Up Sid, Rensil D'Silva with Kurbaan, Tarun Mansukhani with Dostana, Siddharth Malhotra with We Are Family and Punit Malhotra with I Hate Luv Storys. After making their successful debuts in Bollywood, most of these directors are already geared up for their second projects.
The coming year has an exciting lineup of films for Dharma Productions with a range of genres including Ranbir-Deepika starrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Gippi and 2 States. Here's hoping that Dharma Productions continues to entertain the audiences by encouraging new talent in Bollywood!!
