Karan Johar’s Indian production powerhouse Dharma Productions has major new investment.

The Koffee With Karan maker is selling 50% to its shares to Serene Productions, which is led by pharmaceutical tycoon Adar Poonawalla, for 1,000 crore ($120M). The binding agreement values Dharma, which comprises Dharma Productions and Dharmatic Entertainment, at around $240M.

Local reports suggest Johar had also met with the likes of Reliance Industries, Saregama and the Adani Group about offloading shares before sealing the Serene Productions agreement. The company’s revenues for 2022/23 financial year were about $124M.

Following the deal Johar, whose father Yash Johar founded Dharma back in 1976, will retain the remaining 50%. He will be Executive Chairman, spearheading the company’s creative vision, with Apoorva Mehta as CEO.

Dharma Productions’ recent films include Kill, Bad Newz, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, while digital-focused Dharmatic Entertainment is known for streaming shows such as...

Pharmaceutical tycoon Adar Poonawalla’s Serene Productions is investing $119 million in Indian media personality Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Dharmatic Entertainment. The deal values Dharma at $238 million and gives Serene Productions a 50% stake in the company.

Under the new structure, Johar will retain 50% ownership and serve as executive chair, overseeing the creative direction. Apoorva Mehta will continue as CEO, managing strategic and operational aspects of the business.

The partnership aims to leverage Dharma’s storytelling expertise with Poonawalla’s business acumen to expand into large-scale, multi-lingual productions, build franchises, and enhance traditional entertainment formats. The companies plan to focus on creating content for global audiences across various platforms.

With revenues of $124 million for the 2022-23 financial year, Dharma is one of the top studios in India. It has existing deals with Netflix and Prime Video. The company’s recent credits include “Jigra,” “Kill” and “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Rani Chatterjee and Satya Anand have little in common.

The leads of Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” and Vasan Bala’s “Jigra” are both played by Alia Bhatt, one of the top actors in her class, and the only connective tissue between the saree-clad romantic heroine and the resolute woman out to save her brother is that if you cross them, or someone they love, they would probably kill you. It’s a trait Bhatt wears on her sleeve — think “Gully Boy” and “Gangubai Kathiawadi” — and Bala unleashes the best iteration of that to date.

“Jigra” is the story of siblings Satya (Alia Bhatt) and Ankur (Vedang Raina), orphaned in their childhood and raised in the home of wealthy relatives. When Ankur ends up on death row for drug possession in the fictional country of Hanshi Dao, Satya resolves to get him free at all costs.

If Ayesha and Wake-Up Sid had a Gen-z daughter, it would be Call Me Bae. The eight-episode TV series starring Bollywood “nepo” baby Ananya Pandey is like a breath of fresh air amongst the multiple international shows that have been failing to deliver their “woke gen-z romantic comedy” for seasons on end. The first comparison you’re going to see is Emily in Paris, and to that, I’ll tell you, Bae’s definitely more worth your time than Emily. Sure, this is a fish-out-of-water story too, but it’s also a late-bloomer-coming-of-age story with impeccable character development. A guilty pleasure that lands all its self-aware jokes without a stutter.

The video starts with Karan focusing the camera on Yash and Roohi, who are adorably twinning in deep blue tees and grey pants while sitting on a sofa. Karan complimented their matching outfits, saying, “I like what you guys are wearing today!” Roohi, in her innocent but sharp way, then questioned why he doesn’t dress like them more “often,” a word she amusingly mispronounced as “office,” prompting Karan to correct her.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you’re looking for the return of Ming-Han’s husband Pang-Yu, even for a short while in Gg Precinct, then you’re not going to find him. The ghost husband is only mentioned in the series once when Ming-Han insults a gay man and then looks up to the heavens and apologizes to his husband. It seems like his homophobic ways haven’t really changed, but we can tell it’s an ironic take. The only other connection between the film and the show is that we get a glimpse of Zi-Qing’s past as a way to explain why she’s so serious about her job. We know Zi-Qing’s mother died from a drug overdose, and as much as Ming-Han tries to look better than her, she’s got the upper hand there because of her story.

Dharmendra, affectionately known as the “He-Man” of Bollywood, has enjoyed a prolific career spanning several decades.

As his career progressed into the late 1990s, Dharmendra transitioned into character roles, continuing to impress audiences with his performances in films like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Life in a… Metro, Apne, Johnny Gaddaar, and Yamla Pagla Deewana.

One of the most acclaimed directorial debuts of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival was “Girls Will Be Girls,” Shuchi Talati’s coming-of-age story set in a strict North Indian boarding school. And this September, arthouse audiences will have a chance to see the film (and the buzzy lead performance from first-time actress Preeti Panigrahi) on the big screen.

The film’s official synopsis reads: “A model student, 16-year-old Mira (Preeti Panigrahi) is the first-ever female prefect in charge of enforcing rules at a straitlaced Indian boarding school in the Himalayas. Despite her ambition and primness, she can’t help but fall for new student Sri (Kesav Binoy Kiron), and steals away with him to flirt and stargaze. With frankness and sensitivity, writer-director Shuchi Talati uncovers the contradictory layers of Mira’s sexual awakening, the complicated feelings triggered in her protective, unfulfilled mother, and the school’s lax penalties for boys’ transgressive behavior.

Karan Johar’s stylish appearance at the airport turned heads, but it was the paparazzi’s comment that really made the moment special. As he was spotted, one of the photographers shouted “Shah Rukh Khan!” and Karan couldn’t help but smile. His beige coat did bear a resemblance to Shah Rukh’s iconic look in “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.”

Karan has a long history with Shah Rukh, having made his directorial debut with “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” in 1998, which starred Shah Rukh, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji. The film was a massive success and cemented Karan’s position as a leading director in Bollywood. After a brief hiatus from directing, Karan returned with “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” last year, starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.

The paparazzi’s mistake was a nostalgic reminder of Karan’s association with Shah Rukh, and the director seemed to enjoy the moment.

Ranveer Singh and Karisma Kapoor radiate sheer adorableness in the pictures shared by the actress on her Instagram post last Thursday. Karisma donned black attire while Ranveer sported white for the event, creating a delightful contrast. These delightful snapshots were taken at event of a store launch in Mumbai, where the actors are captured happily posing together. Karisma Kapoor captioned the post, “Painted the town blue at the opening of the new Tiffany & Co store with my favorite Ranveer Singh,” accompanied by the hashtags #TiffanyAndCo and #AboutLastNight.

Ranveer Singh, who also serves as Tiffany & Co’s brand ambassador, graced the red carpet in a creation by designer Gaurav Gupta. However, it was his white-heeled shoes by Copper Mallet that stole the spotlight at the event.

Karan Johar is speaking out about comedians mimicking him, and it has caused an uproar. After Rocky Rani Ki Prem Kahani, the director took to his Instagram to slam the comedian, who ‘mimics him in poor taste.’ Karan also called them faceless trolls, and now the comedian in question, Ketan Singh, is reacting to Johar’s bashing. Ketan apologized to Johar while also expressing that he has been a fan, but his motive was not to offend. Here’s what really happened!

So, this is what went down. Karan Johar took to his Instagram account to post a story bashing people and comedians who make fun of him in poor taste and how much it affected him. In his story, he said, “I was sitting and watching television with my mom… and saw a reality comedy show promo on a supposedly respectable channel…...

The fifth episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show was one of the best episodes produced and written by the makers of the show. The legendary actor from the Hindi industry, Aamir Khan, graced the stage and left us with so many lessons about life and his acting inspirations over the years. According to him, they ranged from his Ghajini director Murugodoss to his cousin’s son, whom he has taken inspiration from and adopted traits from for several of his recent iconic characters to make the roles memorable. It was amazing to hear him talk about everything in life without any filters, and an hour-long episode was not enough. It felt like he had a lot to convey and converse with the people.

The sixth episode of the show featured the famous Deol siblings, who are on their all-time high career-wise, which includes their father, the legendary Dharmendra. If anyone remembers,...

Mumbai, May 3 (Ians) Sunny Deol has opened up on the recognition the Deols are finally getting and talked about the love and appreciation their family has been receiving from the audience.

In an upcoming episode of ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’, the Deol brothers, Sunny and Bobby, will be the special guests.

Following their blockbuster year on the big screen, the Deols are basking in the unprecedented love and cheers from their fans.

Reflecting on the affection their family has been receiving, Sunny said: “Since the 1960s, my father has been here, and we have been in that same limelight. And then suddenly Drisha (Sunny’s daughter-in-law) came home, and then ‘Gadar 2’ was released, before which Papa’s film was released. I could not figure out what was happening after the release of ‘Gadar 2’.”

“I was crying and laughing on the inside because I could not believe what was happening.

Taking over a family business can be overwhelming, but for Karan Johar, it’s been anything but.

It’s been more than 25 years since Johar took over Dharma Prods. founded by his father, Yash. Back then it was a medium-sized production company producing films to moderate reception. Today, Dharma Prods. is an empire. “Karan has truly carried forward his father’s legacy and created a phenomenon with Dharma Prods. He is a cinematic genius,” says actor Alia Bhatt.

Bhatt has worked with Johar for over a decade, first on the 2012 film “Student of the Year” and most recently on “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani.” “Karan and his entire team at Dharma have been a strong pillar in the evolution of Hindi cinema,” says Bhatt.

This summer, Johar’s film “Kill” will be released domestically by Lionsgate in cinemas on the July 4 weekend, and is set to be released July 5 in India.

As with any time I try to explain a massive figure in Indian film to the uninitiated, the temptation rises quickly to compare director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to someone in Hollywood.

And, as with any time I actually make these comparisons, everything falls short. Bhansali depicts spectacle evocative of the work of Baz Luhrmann, but even that is a pale imitation (no disrespect to either). There is no one literally anywhere in the world creating cinema with the scale and grandeur that Bhansali has cultivated as his signature, a style so distinct that his own peers pay homage to it while he’s still alive and working.

But at the top of IndieWire’s conversation about Bhansali’s career, he’s quick to shake the larger-than-life visual splendor of his creations, emphasizing — as writer, director and producer, among his many hats — that the stories themselves evoke that scope.

“It’s...

Anupamaa’ star Rupali Ganguly’s decision to join the Bjp and enter politics makes her the newest addition to a galaxy of women celebrities from Mumbai’s entertainment world who have taken the political plunge in the tradition of Nargis Dutt and Vyjayanthimala Bali. Who are the others still active in politics, albeit with mixed lucky? Here’s a list:

Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala: Best known for playing Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s show ‘Ramayan’, Chikhlia was the first of the then new-generation TV stars to pursue a political career, albeit briefly. She was elected MP from Baroda on a Bjp ticket in 1991.

On the big screen, Chikhlia made her Hindi cinema debut as lead in ‘Sun Meri Laila’, cast opposite Raj Kiran, in 1983, and later acted in films with Rajesh Khanna at a time when he had long ceased to be a superstar.

Chikhlia appeared with Mammootty in the Malayalam...

Actor Bobby Deol, who received acclaim for his performance in ‘Animal’ and is gearing up for his films down south, appeared on the latest episode of the streaming comedy show ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ along with his brother Sunny Deol. During the episode, Bobby revealed that his brother has had multiple back surgeries but he still stands strong and can effortlessly pull off action scenes.

Bobby shared: “In real life, if there is someone strong like Superman, then it’s my brother. I have never seen a stronger person than him. He’s had multiple back surgeries but in spite of that, whenever he is required to lift someone for a role, he easily does it. The funny part is he does it like they weigh nothing. Flawlessly.”

In 2022, Sunny got treated in the US after he sustained a back injury during a film shoot.
