Mumbai: Filmmaker Karan Johar will don the director’s hat again, for a romantic drama titled ‘K3G2’, inspired by his 2001 cult classic ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’.
“After hitting the bullseye with a romantic family comedy in the form of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Karan is returning to the family drama space with his next. Buzz is, it would be his biggest-scale film till date, and Karan has brought in the New Year by locking the script of his next,” a source was quoted as saying by Pinkvilla.
The source revealed that the film’s pre-production will start by mid-2026 and will go on floors by the end of 2026.
“It’s a high-octane family drama with, of course, a strong romantic and emotional core. The film will be spearheaded by two male leads and two female leads, and the casting process is expected to kickstart soon. This will be the big-ticket marquee from Dharma Productions scheduled for the theatrical medium,” the source added.
Though there is information about the project’s title, a source shared that KJo is contemplating naming the film as ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2’ (K3G2). “However, it’s surely in the space of the 2001 blockbuster led by Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, and Jaya Bachchan.”
