Karan Johar reflects on Dharma Productions' evolution, from Dostana in 1980 to the success of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998.
Nearly 25 years after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (KKHH) became a cultural phenomenon, Karan Johar has revealed which actors he would cast if he were to reimagine the iconic romance today. Notably, top stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Kiara Advani aren’t among them.

Karan Johar discussed the growth of Dharma Productions, highlighting the impact of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He teased future projects and potential modern casting for the film.
In a recent conversation with Sania Mirza for Myntra’s Glam Stream, Karan suggested Alia Bhatt as the modern Anjali, Ranveer Singh as Rahul, and Ananya Panday as Tina. He also hinted that the role of Tina could go to Janhvi Kapoor or Sara Ali Khan, playfully referring to the new generation of star kids as “younger nepo babies.”
During the chat, Karan addressed questions about nepotism, emphasising that he has never hired anyone at the request of their parents. “I know they are nepo babies. I’ve seen them grow up in front of me. But none of their parents have ever called me. I have always been the one to call,” he said, adding that even some actors have declined his offers
