Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying, “After collaborating with Sanjay Leela Bhansali on HeeraMandi, this Karan Johar directorial is the next marquee project in Netflix’s repertoire. Karan will be the showrunner for this yet-untitled web series. The script is locked and the vision is to take it on the floor in the first quarter of 2025.” The source also mentioned that it will be a female-led project in terms of the star cast.

“The web series now begins its casting stage and the idea is to bring together an ensemble of renowned actors. Being a Karan Johar show, the web series is considered to be Netflix’s most ambitious upcoming project. It will be shot throughout 2025 and is set to stream in 2026,” the source added.
