Shakun added, “I have had a wonderful journey with Karan and his production house for almost a decade now, and I can’t wait to get back into the director’s chair for my next. It’s a relationship drama where the characters find themselves stuck in a morally ambiguous zone.” The film, which will go on floors early next year, will hit the screens on February 12, 2021.

Shakun and Karan have also collaborated for a Netflix documentary based on Ma Anand Sheela’s life. Apart from giving a personalized insight into the controversial figure’s life, the documentary will also be featuring candid conversation between Ma Anand Sheela and Karan Johar. Shakun Batra is the showrunner for the documentary and said, “Some believe she’s the epitome of feminism, a pop icon, and others view her as the criminal mastermind behind one of America’s biggest scandals.”
