    Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is a successful production company. But it was going through a bit of a financial crisis. The last many films of Karan Johar have failed to perform well at the box office. But Dharma Productions is still a successful and one of the biggest production companies of Bollywood.

    Adar Poonawalla who is a close friend of Karan Johar has bought a 50% stake in Dharma Productions for 1000 crores. Adar and Karan together have assured to produce and deliver several wonderful stories, films, and shows in several languages.

    Previously it was reported that Business Tycoons and a few of the richest persons in India such as Mukesh Ambani and Sanjiv Goenka were interested in buying a stake in Dharma Productions. Mukesh Ambani and Sanjiv Goenka already own several movie production companies. But it is Karan Johar’s dear friend Adar Poonawala who has come to his rescue

    The last commercially successful film of Dharma Productions was Sooryavanshi released in 2021. Since 2021, many films of Dharma Productions have performed decent at the box office or have failed to make money. Films such as Gehraiyaan, Jug Jug Jeeyo, Liger, Brahmastra, Selfiee, Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, Lakshya’s K, Yodha, Bad News, and Mr and Mrs Mahi.

    Karan Johar invested over 100 crores in the 2023 film ‘Selfie’ starring Akshay Kumar and Emraan Hashmi. It was a box office flop on its opening day itself despite receiving encouraging reviews from critics.

    Karan Johar invested over 150 crores for the Pan-India film titled ‘Liger’. It starred Vijay Deverkonda and Ananya Pandey in the lead roles. The film was released in several languages such as Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Liger received negative reviews and emerged as a box office disaster.

    Even Karan Johar and Dharma Productions’ latest high-budget film Jigra has flopped at the box office. The film led by Alia Bhatt was one of the most awaited films of the year. The film received mixed to negative reviews.

    Yash Raj Films (YRF), T-Series (Bhushan Kumar), and Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) are three of the biggest movie production companies in Bollywood.

    Yash Raj Films and T-Series have had several big successes in recent years. They have constantly delivered high-grossing films and they have minted huge profits. But Dharma Productions is struggling to have a major commercially successful film.

    The net worth of Karan Johar is over 5000 crores. But it is his company that is going through difficult financial crises.

    Upcoming Films of Dharma Productions

    The next produced film by Dharma Productions is Shankara. It is a periodic film starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Pandey. The film is set to release between March – April. Dharma Productions is also producing a romantic comedy film titled Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The film stars Varun Dhawan, Jhanvi Kapoor, Rohit Saraf, and Sanya Malhotra among others.

    Also, Karan Johar’s high-budget film with Salman Khan has been shelved. The producer was hoping to collaborate with Salman Khan for a film titled The Bull. But now according to the sources that movie has been shelved too and Karan Johar has no plans of making it in the future.

    Now only Shahrukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Salman Khan can save Dharma Productions. Karan Johar and Adar Poonawala would hope to produce a large scale and high budget film with any one of the stars. The stardom of Shahrukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Salman Khan is colossal and they have the competence to bring the audience into theatres.

    Also, Karan Johar should co-produce Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming massive film titled ‘King’. The buzz of King is on another level. It surely seems like a 1000+ crore worldwide grosser.

    Karan Johar has also launched Dharmatic Entertainment, a new subsidiary of Dharma Productions.

    Dharmatic Entertainment would focus on producing and providing digital films and shows for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar. Dharmatic Entertainment delivered over ten films and Television shows in 2024. But, Dharmatic Entertainment is yet to become a profitable venture.

    Ending the show with a piece of good news, Karan Johar is returning with another season of ‘Koffee With Karan’. Koffee With Karan is a talk show where Karan Johar invites popular faces from the film, fashion, and sports industries. It is the biggest and most popular talk show in India.
