Dharma Productions and Sidharth Malhotra are reportedly all set for another collaboration — and if the buzz around the project is anything to go by, it could be one of the most anticipated Bollywood films of late 2026. According to a Mid-Day report, Sidharth is in advanced discussions to headline a new emotionally driven romantic drama under Karan Johar’s banner, to be directed by Sharan Sharma.

A Reunion That Makes Complete Sense
When it was reported that Sidharth Malhotra was closing in on a new Dharma film, the excitement was immediate — and completely understandable. Karan Johar is the man who launched Sidharth’s career with Student of the Year (2012), and the actor has appeared in a string of Dharma-associated films over the years including Hasee Toh Phasee, Kapoor & Sons, Shershaah, and Yodha. Each time, the collaboration has been commercially and creatively meaningful.
The new film, according to sources cited by Mid-Day, was first pitched to Sidharth last year. He responded positively, gave a verbal go-ahead at the time, and has since been reviewing the script before making a formal commitment. The project is now in its final stages of conversation, with filming expected to begin in Mumbai by summer 2026.
Sharan Sharma — A Director Who Knows How to Draw Out Emotion
The choice of director is particularly exciting. Sharan Sharma has already collaborated with Sidharth — as well as with Dharma Productions — and has built a reputation for bringing grounded, emotionally resonant stories to screen. His sensitive directorial touch feels perfectly aligned with what is described as a complex relationship drama exploring nuanced interpersonal dynamics.
What’s Sidharth Up To Right Now?
On the personal front, Sidharth and his wife Kiara Advani recently became parents to their first child — a baby girl named Saraayah. On the professional front, he is currently working on Vvan alongside Tamannaah Bhatia, and he was last seen opposite Janhvi Kapoor in a film from 2025.
