Acclaimed filmmaker and producer Karan Johar has candidly admitted that he is currently dealing with a sense of “FOMO” when it comes to the widely discussed film Dhurandhar. Despite the film generating significant buzz across the industry and among audiences, karan Johar revealed that he has not yet managed to watch it.

Speaking during a recent interaction, Johar shared that the overwhelming praise and conversations surrounding Dhurandhar have only intensified his curiosity.

According to Johar, his packed schedule has been the primary reason behind missing the film so far.

He expressed admiration for the team behind Dhurandhar, noting that the positive reception indicates the audience’s evolving tastes and their openness to diverse storytelling.
