Karan Johar backs Prosit Roy’s new psychological love story

Filmmaker Karan Johar is set to collaborate with acclaimed director Prosit Roy on a new psychological love story under the banner of Dharma Productions. The project is currently in the development stage and is expected to begin production later this year, marking a fresh creative partnership for both filmmakers.
According to industry reports, the untitled film will blend romance with psychological elements, offering a darker and more emotionally layered narrative than conventional love stories. While the makers have kept the plot tightly under wraps, sources describe it as an intense relationship drama with a psychological twist.
Prosit Roy is best known for directing the supernatural thriller Pari, starring Anushka Sharma, and the crime thriller series Raakh. His work has earned praise for its atmospheric storytelling and ability to explore the darker side of human emotions. His collaboration with Dharma Productions is expected to bring a fresh storytelling style to the production house’s slate.
Reports suggest the film is still in the scripting and pre-production phase, with casting expected to begin soon. The makers are currently searching for the lead actors before moving the project to the shooting stage. Principal photography is likely to commence towards the end of 2026 if everything proceeds according to schedule.
For Karan Johar and Dharma Productions, the project represents another step towards exploring diverse genres beyond traditional family dramas and romantic entertainers. In recent years, the production house has expanded into thrillers, courtroom dramas, horror and experimental storytelling, reflecting its changing creative vision.
The announcement has generated excitement among Bollywood fans, many of whom are eager to see what Prosit Roy brings to the psychological romance genre with Dharma’s backing. Social media users have praised the collaboration, calling it an unexpected yet promising combination that could deliver a fresh cinematic experience.
Although the film’s title, cast and release date remain undisclosed, the collaboration has already become one of the most talked-about upcoming Bollywood projects. With Prosit Roy’s distinctive filmmaking style and Karan Johar’s production expertise coming together, expectations are high for a film that aims to combine romance, suspense and psychological depth in a unique way.

    Peshawar High Court orders inquiry into missing ci…

      The Peshawar High Court has issued a written order on a petition seeking the recovery of a missing citizen and directed the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) to conduct a detailed inquiry into the matter. According to the written order, the CCPO has been instructed to appoint an inquiry officer to investigate the disappearance. The court specifically directed that the officer appointed for the inquiry must be of at least the rank of inspector, ensuring that the investigation is conducted by a senior police official. The court also issued several directions regarding the collection of evidence. It ordered the investigating officer to obtain CCTV footage from a private petrol station where the petitioner and his brother were present at the time of the incident. The footage is expected to help establish the circumstances surrounding the citizen’s disappearance and identify any individuals who may have been involved. The court further directed the authorities to record the statement of the petitioner and collect all available evidence related to the case. The inquiry officer has been instructed to examine the facts thoroughly and ensure that no relevant piece of evidence is overlooked during the investigation. The Peshawar High Court ordered that the inquiry be completed within one month and that a detailed report be submitted to the court after its conclusion. The deadline was set to ensure that the investigation proceeds without unnecessary delay and that the family receives information about the whereabouts of the missing citizen. The written order stated that the petitioner and his brother were present at a private petrol pump when the incident allegedly occurred. According to the petitioner’s account, his brother was taken to an unknown location on May 15. Since then, his whereabouts have reportedly remained unknown, prompting the petitioner to approach the high court seeking his recovery. The court also took note of the position presented by the police during the proceedings. According to the written order, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Chamkani Police Station rejected the allegations concerning the disappearance of the petitioner’s brother. Despite the SHO’s denial, the high court considered it necessary to order a formal inquiry and directed senior police authorities to investigate the matter independently. The court’s directions include examining CCTV footage, recording statements and gathering all relevant evidence to determine what happened to the missing citizen. The inquiry is expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the disappearance and determine whether further legal action is required. By directing the CCPO to appoint an officer of inspector rank or above, the court has emphasized the need for a serious and transparent investigation. The authorities have been given one month to complete the inquiry and submit their findings before the court. The case will proceed based on the report and evidence collected during the investigation.

    Newcastle complete signing of goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Braga

    Newcastle, currently without a permanent manager, announced Monday that they have signed Czech Republic goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Portuguese club Braga. Hornicek has agreed to a five year contract after Newcastle triggered his 30 million euro release clause, a fee equivalent to roughly 25.7 million pounds or 34.6 million dollars. He becomes the club’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window. The 24 year old, who is expected to challenge Nick Pope for the starting goalkeeper role, described the past few days as an emotional experience since first learning of the move, and said he is thrilled to have completed the transfer. He said he is aware of Newcastle’s reputation as a major football city, pointing to the roughly 52,000 fans who fill St James’ Park and create an atmosphere he said pushes the team in every match, adding that he is eager to play in front of them. Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson said Hornicek has firmly established himself as one of the top young goalkeepers in Europe. The signing comes during a turbulent period for the club. Eddie Howe stepped down as Newcastle manager last week after five years in charge, following a difficult campaign that saw the team finish 12th in the Premier League. The club has also faced a challenging summer transfer window on other fronts. Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali has completed a move to Tottenham, while England forward Anthony Gordon has departed for Barcelona. Captain Bruno Guimaraes has also been strongly linked with a switch to Premier League champions Arsenal. Newcastle will open their Premier League season at home against Liverpool on August 23.
