Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 20 : Filmmaker Karan Johar on Thursday announced his new film, which will mark the launch of a new director.

Karan expressed his excitement for the project by calling it his 'proudest film'. However, he didn't reveal the name of the project.

"When I began producing films (once 1 stepped into Dharma as an active part of the company), in 2003 with Kal Ho Naa Ho - the idea was to empower filmmakers and storytellers...to pay it forward. We got it right...we got it wrong but the intent was always to put out stories and films we believed in. The motive was only either entertain, seek acclaim or to simply have fun at the movies," he wrote.

Taking a dig at trolls who criticize him for working with star kids and not giving a chance to outsiders, Karan added, "I am so proud to say that our next offering is the 24th debutant filmmaker we have introduced to Hindi cinema! (Trivia for trollers: 90% of them are 'outsiders') I rarely write notes before the release of a film but few films excite me, energise me and inspire me the way the process of this film has... (sic)."

"The director did nothing else but put his head down and work relentlessly on his film combating pandemic delays and other unforeseen circumstances. I am inspired by the team of actors and technicians who gave the film and the team so much consistent support and love. One can never predict commercial success BUT what I can say with all my heart is that this film is one of Dharma's proudest films. I say this as a filmmaker and an audience. I pray for the team that the audience is coloured in the colour of their passion. See you at the movies (sic)," Karan concluded, leaving fans excited.

Meanwhile, recently Karan's Dharma Productions ventured into regional cinema with the launch of its first Punjabi film, Akaal.
