Karan Johar Battles Extreme FOMO While Shooting For His Upcoming Project

Filmmaker-producer Karan Johar has revealed that he is experiencing intense FOMO while working on his upcoming project at a remote location.

He shared on Instagram Stories that he currently lacks access to cinemas, leaving him unable to watch the much-discussed film Dhurandhar: The Revenge.

Johar expressed eagerness to watch the film and praised the industry’s collective support.

He noted that the widespread appreciation for an Indian film reflects a rare sense of unity within the fraternity.

He also acknowledged the efforts of director Aditya Dhar, production houses, and lead actor Ranveer Singh.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge has emerged as a major box-office success, registering strong occupancy levels and multiple sold-out shows across regions.

The film has performed well in dubbed versions, indicating a broad pan-India appeal.

Prominent industry figures, including Ayushmann Khurrana and Anupam Kher, have lauded its scale and performances.

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma described its success as a shift from conventional filmmaking patterns.

The franchise has grown into a cultural phenomenon, combining stylised action, nationalistic themes, and star power.

Viral moments, music, and off-screen developments have further amplified its reach, transforming it into a broader cultural conversation.

However, the film has also attracted criticism from a section of viewers, with some alleging that it promotes pro-establishment narratives.

Despite this, the sequel has cemented its position as a defining force in contemporary Bollywood spectacle cinema.
