Filming kicks off in December for two of Dharma Productions’ most ambitious projects — one a mythological creature epic, the other a high-concept comedy with a monstrous twist. According to Pinkvilla, Karan Johar is doubling down on spectacle, with both films entering production by the end of 2026. No casting has been confirmed yet, but sources say one will be helmed by Sandeep Modi, National Award-winning director of Arya and Night Manager. The studio’s confidence is palpable: this isn’t just another slate. It’s a bet on scale, concept, and narrative audacity. One film, reportedly tied to Ramayana, may debut with a theatrical trailer during Diwali, a move that suggests early momentum. The other? A creature comedy with no genre precedent in Indian cinema. That’s not just risk. That’s a challenge. Meanwhile, Dharma’s current release schedule remains locked: Udta Teer, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan, heads toward a 2027 launch, along with Kuku Ki Kundali and Lag Ja Gale. But the real focus now is on what’s coming next. The camera’s rolling. The clock’s ticking. And the question isn’t whether these films will be made. It’s whether they’ll land. Not even the trailers are out yet. But the buzz? It’s already loud.
