Sidharth Malhotra to reunite with Karan Johar for new Dharma Productions project: Report

It seems that 2026 might bring another project involving Sidharth Malhotra and filmmaker Karan Johar. A story from Mid-Day says that Malhotra is currently talking about a new movie that will be supported by Dharma Productions.

This movie is going to be a drama that deals with deep emotions and complicated relationships between people.

 The film will be directed by Sharan Sharma, who has worked on Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Mr & Mrs Mahi before.

If this project goes ahead, it will be another time Sidharth works with Karan Johar, as they have been working together for a long time.

 Malhotra first appeared in Bollywood with Johar’s movie Student of the Year in 2012 and has worked with him on several other projects, including the 2024 action film Yodha.

A person who spoke to the report said that the production company is excited to work with Sidharth again and feels the story fits with how he acts on screen.

 “The studio wants to work with Sidharth again and thinks the project suits his image. He really liked the idea when it was first mentioned last year. He gave his verbal approval then and wanted to read the script before making a final decision. Now, the discussions are almost finished,” the person said.

The report also says that if everything goes smoothly, the film might start shooting in the summer of 2026, with the main filming taking place in Mumbai.

On his acting front, Sidharth was recently seen in Param Sundari with Janhvi Kapoor.

 He has some big projects coming up, including Vvan, which is supported by Balaji Telefilms and The Viral Fever, and will also star alongside Tamannaah Bhatia. Readers might remember that earlier in January, source shared that Sidharth Malhotra has been cast in a commercial entertainer, which will be produced by Mahaveer Jain under his own banner, Mahaveer Jain Films, and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
