In Pic: Khushi Kapoor, Ibrahim Ali Khan and Karan Johar
Karan Johar has always been blamed for promoting nepotism, but the filmmaker has never paid attention to such allegations. He has always done what he felt was right, and now, if reports are to be believed, the director-producer is all set to work with yet another star kid duo. According to reports in Pinkvilla, Karan Johar is all set to produce a rom-com for Saif Ali Khan's son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Boney Kapoor's daughter, Khushi Kapoor.
According to the portal quoted, a source close to the development has revealed that the film is going to be a romantic comedy. As per the information, Karan Johar feels that the film should be an OTT release.
"It's being planned as a direct-to-digital project to be produced by his digital wing, Dharmatics. The film will go on floors next year and will be directed by Shauna Gautam. The makers are in talks with a leading OTT player for streaming rights," the source shared.
The source further revealed, "It's one of those romantic comedies that Hindi Cinema is known for. However, Karan and co. feel that the palette of narrative fits better for the OTT than the big screen. It's planned and will be executed as an OTT original."
