Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham 2 (K3G2) is the informal title for Karan Johar's massive upcoming directorial project. The setting is a lively family drama with heavy romance and intense emotions mixed in. He is producing it for his company, Dharma Productions, and it is going to be one of their biggest projects ever. Although an official cast is still to be announced, reports are implying a big group of actors with four main stars (two males and two females), thus following Karan Johar's tradition of past successes with multi-starrers.
Karan Johar seems to have the script in hand for this gigantic new project, as was the case after the success of his last film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. He has not yet made any official public statement or interview confirming the title, but industry buzz and reports are pointing to his having locked in the story. The announcement of the locking of the script indicates that he is going back to the grand family drama style for which he is famous, and that would be a film with emotion and scale rich, just like the iconic 2001 movie, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
At the moment, the film is in the pre-production phase, and it is expected that the preparations will be in full swing by the middle of 2026. The start of filming is aimed for the end of 2026. Since this is a Dharma Productions film, it will probably get a major worldwide theatrical release first and then streaming on a significant platform. The audience should be ready for a huge, visually beautiful, and emotionally complex family drama with a great musical score and a stunning cast who would silently be the major attractions.
