Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar went through a roller-coaster of emotions on Monday, September 6 which marks the birth anniversary of his father Yash Johar. The director who is quite active on social media shared an emotional note alongside a video which featured throwback pictures of the late renowned film producer. He wrote, “It’s been many years but it still feels like yesterday when papa was next to me, guiding me with every decision I made. Today along with Dharma, @yashjoharfoundation is also now a reality and continues to form itself into an establishment that is making a difference in the society we live in and I can’t help but feel that he’s still here…in many forms.”
According to Karan, the main focus of the Yash Johar Foundation is to improve the quality of life of people in the entertainment industry.
Dharma Productions was founded by late producer Yash Johar in 1976, with its first production venture titled ‘Dostana’ starring Amitabh Bachchan.
Since Karan Johar’s directorial debut film ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, the company has produced more than 45 films including ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, ‘2 States’ and ‘Dear Zindagi’.
Karan is currently helming ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’, which stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.
