Karan Johar drops hint of film with ‘South superstar’, ‘loved actress’ and ‘legacy debut actor’

Director-producer Karan Johar took to social media on Sunday to state that his banner Dharma Productions has been involved in the shooting of a film, starring a "superstar from the south", a "massively loved actress" and a "legacy debut actor".

In a statement, whose header read “This is not a Film Announcement”, Karan said that he and his team have been working on the film for the past year but kept the details under wraps as it was “a decision the debut director took.”

He also dropped hints to the audience and promised that whoever guesses the title and other details correctly will be invited to catch a glimpse of the film.

“So, here are the broad hints: A) A superstar from the south who has just delivered a pan India juggernaut! "B) A massively loved actress who continues to awe us with her emotional energy on celluloid. C) A legacy debut actor who is working tirelessly to find his spot in the sunshine of exceptional talent & combatting the obsession with the N word! But keeping his head down and just working! The film is ready and we will be releasing it soon! Any guesses?,” read the announcement note.

Social media users began with the guessing game. As per the audience, the film might be Sarzameen, which, as per some reports last year, will star Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan and will be directed by Kayoze Irani, son of Boman Irani.

Previously, Karan wrapped up Season 8 of his talk show Koffee With Karan. He returned to the director’s chair after a long time last year with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
