\u201cBy leveraging this synergy, Serene Productions and Dharma seek to meet the evolving demands of today\u2019s digitally savvy consumers while pushing the boundaries of creative storytelling.

Karan Johar stated, \u201cFrom its inception, Dharma Productions has been synonymous with heartfelt storytelling that captures the essence of Indian culture. My father dreamed of creating films that would leave a lasting impact, and I\u2019ve dedicated my career to expanding that vision. Today, as we join forces with Adar, a close friend and an exceptional visionary and innovator, we\u2019re poised to elevate Dharma\u2019s legacy to new heights. This partnership represents a perfect blend of our emotional storytelling prowess and forward-thinking business strategies. It\u2019s about honouring our roots while embracing the future of global entertainment. Dharma\u2019s journey has been remarkable, and this collaboration opens up a world of possibilities for creating content that will resonate across borders and generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news of this collaboration comes fresh on the heels of Karan Johar looking to sell a majority stake in his company. Interestingly, there were speculations back in 2019 that Adani Group, led by billionaire Gautam Adani, was in talks to acquire a stake in Dharma Productions which was later refuted by the company. <\/p>\n
