Sanjana Bailwal2 years ago2 years ago1938 mins

Dharma Productions, the banner which gave us the offbeat and unexpected “Badlapur,” has announced a new project, “Chand Mera Dil,” with Ananya Panday and Lakshya. The first film from Dharma since its announcement of the new ventures, so everybody’s quite curious and excited to know what’s in store.

Karan Johar’s Dharma Production has announced their next project; a romantic drama titled “Chand Mera Dil”

The movie will star Ananya Panday and Lakshya and will be directed by Vivek Soni. Sharing four posters from the movie Karan Johar wrote in an Instagram post, “We have two chands ready to bring an intense & passionate love story like no other!!! ???? Pyaar mein thoda paagal hona hi padta hai.???????? Chand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday & Lakshya, Directed by Vivek Soni, Coming soon to cinemas 2025“. Posters show shares of romantic moments between Ananya and Lakshya.

Not everyone was pleased with this news, bringing that ‘nepo’ casting criticism back. “Always The Same Face For Lead Role ???? Relatives Cast in everywhere,” wrote one. “Flop – these two domt suit at all in terms of chemistry – Karan will never learn not to use nepos,” wrote another. “Karan you have to stop using nepos,” read another comment.

A few were looking forward to seeing Ananya on the silver screen again. “Really came to love anaya’s movies,” wrote one individual. Others wished the film’s team good luck.

“Chand Mera Dil” First Look Posters: Ananya Panday Plus Lakshya Equals RomanceThe movie will hit screens in 2025

Karan Johar announced his new project this time with Ananya Panday and Lakshya. The filmmaker shared four posters featuring the lead actors. The two have been snapped together looking totally head over heels for each other in the posters.

Film to be directed by Vivek Soni, who has earlier showcased his storytelling skills with the 2021 film Meenakshi Sundareshwar, will be produced under the banner of Dharma Productions. Karan described the film as “unique and passionate” in a post on his Instagram. He shared the first posters from the movie and added: “We have two chands ready to bring an intense & passionate love story like no other!!! Pyaar mein thoda paagal hona hi padta hai. Chand Mera Dil, starring Ananya Panday & Lakshya. Directed by Vivek Soni. Coming to cinemas in 2025.

Films of Ananya and Lakshya

The last seen films of Ananya were CTRL and Call Me Bae. While CTRL was a cautionary tale on overuse of AI and social media, director Vikramaditya Motwane, Call Me Bae was a frothy riches to rag series about a Delhi girl’s adventures in Mumbai.
Lakshya was seen in Dharma Productions’ Kill.

About Dharma Poonawalla Deal

Indian pharmaceutical tycoon Adar Poonawalla has invested $119 million into one of Bollywood’s largest production houses, boosting a film industry that has shrunk from lacklustre audience interest.

The deal gives Poonawalla’s Serene Production a 50-per cent stake in Dharma Productions, which produces and distributes some of India’s biggest movie blockbusters.

Prolific filmmaker and chat show host Karan Johar will retain the balance of the stake and serve as executive chairman. His father started the production company in the 1970s.

ICYDK, it’s the first venture of Dharma Productions since business tycoon Adar Poonawalla bought a 50% stake in Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Dharmatic Entertainment-all together referred to as Dharma. The B-town production house was launched way back in 1976 by the father of Karan Johar, Yash Johar. With time, they have produced some of the biggest hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Student of the Year, Good Newwz, and Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva.

On the other hand, Dharmatic Entertainment was founded in 2018, and it deals with all kinds of productions, such as web series, documentaries, and feature films. Dharmatic Entertainment is the production house behind Ajeeb Daastaan, Ae Watan Mere Watan, Koffee With Karan, Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, and The Tribe.

The last we saw of Ananya Panday on the screen was in CTRL, a cautionary tale about the cons of AI and social media. The film is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. She also makes her OTT debut with Call Me Bae, a light-hearted series about a Delhi girl’s adventures in Mumbai. Lakshya, on the other hand, makes his Bollywood debut with Kill from the Dharma Productions stable.
