Imagine being part of a movement that’s about to shake the very foundations of Bollywood. Karan Johar, the man behind some of the most iconic films in Indian cinema, is on a mission to change the game. He’s just shared a post on Instagram that’s got everyone buzzing, and for good reason.
Let’s set the scene: Karan Johar, the mastermind behind Dharma Productions, has been under fire for allegedly favoring star kids over outsiders. But now, he’s hitting back with a powerful statement. He’s launching not one, not two, but 24 new directors under his banner, and the best part? 90% of them are outsiders. Yes, you read that right!
As Karan himself puts it, “When I started making films with ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ in 2003, the idea was to empower filmmakers and storytellers to push boundaries… We were right, we were wrong – but the intention was always to present stories and films we believed in.” He’s not just talking the talk; he’s walking the walk.
The man’s got a vision, and it’s all about giving new talent a chance to shine. His next big project is a film that’s been four years in the making, and it’s going to be a game-changer. The movie tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a man who fought against the British to uncover the truth about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It’s a powerful tale of courage and resilience, and Karan is all set to bring it to life on the big screen.
So, who’s the man behind this magnum opus? None other than Karan Singh Tyagi, the writer of ‘Kesari Chapter 2’, who’s all set to make his directorial debut. And if the rumors are true, this film might just be the one Karan’s been hinting at in his Instagram post. The fact that the post is colored orange has got fans speculating that it’s indeed ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ that Karan’s talking about.
One thing’s for sure – Karan Johar’s on a mission to change the face of Bollywood, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us. With ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ set to release on April 18, 2025, starring Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Pandey, the excitement is palpable. As Karan signs off, “I pray that the audience immerses themselves in the team’s passion… let’s meet at the movies!” The countdown begins!
