Mumbai, Feb 2 (.) A new genre-driven project is taking shape at Dharma Productions, with Karan Johar locking a horror thriller that will feature Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead.
A source shared with Bollywood Hungama, “Karan Johar has locked a horror thriller for his banner, Dharma Productions and has roped in Aditya Roy Kapur to play the lead character. Adi read the script and didn’t take long to come on board. It’s a unique project, and everyone at Dharma is bullish about the theatrical prospects of the genre.”
The film is expected to go on floors in May 2026. A prominent female actor is currently in advanced negotiations to star opposite Kapur. The identity of the director, however, remains closely guarded.
Previously, Kapur and Johar had teamed up for “Ok Jaanu”, and this will mark their reunion, though the genre is nothing like their last. . . .
