He added, "It’s one of those days where I pinch myself and realise that dreams do come true. Thank you everyone for the unabashed love you have shown me in my journey. And I promise you, there is more to come!"
Karan Johar has returned as a director after seven years with his film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani', starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh in the lead role.

Ahead of releasing the teaser, Karan Johar penned a heartfelt note on his comeback as a director. "It’s been 7 years since I directed a film. I embarked on a journey of a film that I had to stop mid-way for various unavoidable reasons and then the germ of #rockyaurranikipremkahani came to me from a real-life family anecdote ( something my father once told me about ) and then my soldiers helped me create everything I wanted to with my 7th feature," he wrote.
He added, "I was blessed with the best team... a team so full of love that bidding them goodbye was not easy….. thank you to each and every one of the core team that helped me through thick, thin, Covid and bad weather…. ( you know who you are and I love you forever) to my amazing cast from veterans to friends … from first-time actors to established maestros …. I am blessed with this illustrious cast who portrayed each and every part to its visualisation and more …. We finally wrapped last night!!! We can’t wait to share our labour of love, family, fun, and sheer joy with all of you on the 28th of July 2023…… see you at the movies!! #rockyaurranikipremkahani."
'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani' also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi in pivotal roles. The movie will release on July 28, 2023.
