The Unstoppable Showman

There is something about Karan Johar. His unapologetic candour instantly makes you take a liking for him, that is, if you can handle someone who has opinions and is unafraid to voice them. His company; Dharma Productions has produced more than 35 films including a series of blockbusters and is the most sought after production house in the country. Recognised for dishing out movies with soul-stirring storylines that feature never done before megastar casting, which in turn results in record box office collections, Dharma Productions is known to create new benchmarks in the Indian film industry. From making his directorial debut at age 25 to being someone who has mentored numerous successful directors, Karan Johar has traversed a long road that has been dotted with many significant milestones. Addressing himself as a team-player, Karan attributes his success to the collective efforts of his team. What sets him apart from the others in the film industry is an inherent awareness of his strengths and weaknesses juxtaposed with a knack of being able to adapt to changing circumstances. His business acumen, astute observational skills, ability to keep up with people of all age groups and an EQ that is at par with his IQ, give him the cutting edge to make movies like no one else does.
