Nepotism chatter is heating up around Dharma as whispers claim a billionaire stakeholder could tilt the studio’s fortunes, with Karan Johar in the crosshairs [2].
Dharma under fire is not new, but this round centers on casting and release economics. In online chatter, Neeraj Ghaywan reposted a story shading a Dharma project, keeping the debate about who controls what gets made and how it lands at the box office alive (and triggering talks about the industry’s gatekeeping) [1].
The stake-holder angle deepens the intrigue. The thread says Adar Poonawalla bought into the studio and may push for changes, potentially sidelining Karan Johar. It also notes Adi Chopra and YRF Studios back in reckoning after recent twists, suggesting a realignment at the top [2].
Nepotism chatter continues to echo across projects in play. A post shows Ahaan Panday and Sharvari Wagh lined up for Ali Abbas Zafar’s next, fueling arguments about fresh faces vs. legacy paths in casting [4]. Another post points to Lakshya signing big projects, keeping the insider-versus-outsider debate alive in Bollywood’s long game [3].
Bottom line: as Dharma and its peers weigh casting power and release strategies, fans will be watching who actually writes the next chapter for Hindi cinema’s power players.
