Sources suggest that the filmmaker has locked the script for a grand scale family drama that might be titled Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2.

The director reportedly brought in the New Year by finalizing the script for this highly anticipated project from Dharma Productions.
Biggest Scale Film For The Filmmaker
According to reports, this will be Karan Johar’s biggest film till date. The family drama will have a strong romantic and emotional core, staying true to the filmmaker’s signature style. Pre-production work is expected to begin by mid-2026, with shooting scheduled to start by the end of the year.
The film is being positioned as a big ticket theatrical release from Dharma Productions.
Four Lead Actors To Headline The Film
The upcoming family drama will reportedly be spearheaded by two male leads and two female leads. The casting process is expected to kickstart soon, and industry circles are already buzzing with speculation about who might bag these coveted roles.
Given the scale and legacy of the original Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, expectations are sky high for the star cast announcement.
