Adar Poonawalla is a man who dons many hats. He is equally at home posing next to vaccines for dangerous diseases as he is next to prize horses, sports cars, or celebrities. But outside of partying hard with Bollywood stars, he hasn't really had anything to do with the film business. That changed late in October, when the Serum Institute of India CEO announced he had purchased a 50% stake in veteran Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, known for hits such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, for â¹1,000 crore.
The deal included Dharma Productions' digital content arm Dharmatic Entertainment, which has produced over-the-top (OTT) originals such as Koffee With Karan (on Disney+ Hotstar), Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives (Netflix), and Call Me Bae (Amazon Prime Video).
"I am delighted to have the opportunity to partner with one of the most iconic production houses in our nation, along with my friend Karan Johar. We hope to build and grow Dharma and scale even greater heights in the years to come," Poonawalla had said in a statement announcing the deal. Mint has reached out to him for a comment but had not received a response at the time of publishing.
