After Raazi, Dear Zindagi, Dharma Productions Continues Backing Women; Shazia Iqbal Makes Dhadak 2 Special –

Dharma Productions Continues Backing Women Filmmakers with Dhadak 2:

One of the biggest production houses in India, Dharma Productions, continues its commitment to championing women filmmakers by collaborating with director Shazia Iqbal for their latest project, Dhadak 2. Known for supporting powerful female voices in cinema, Dharma has previously worked with acclaimed directors like Meghna Gulzar (Raazi), Gauri Shinde (Dear Zindagi), Ruchi Narain (Guilty), and Sonam Nair (Masaba Masaba). Now, Shazia Iqbal joins this inspiring lineup with her debut feature backed by the banner and we know it’s going to be a special project.

At the trailer launch of Dhadak 2, producer Karan Johar spoke about the importance of giving space and recognition to female storytellers. He said, “We are very proud to have worked with women filmmakers & Shazia adds to that beautiful list! Meghna Gulzar, Ruchi Narayan, Sonam Narain, Gauri Shinde have made beautiful films for us.”

Karan went on to express his admiration for Shazia Iqbal’s vision and storytelling, “Shazia, I’m so proud of you that you’ve made this beautiful film for us & I’ll be eternally grateful to your storytelling and the emotion that you brought to this film!”

Shazia’s film Dhadak 2, which promises a strong emotional core and unique perspective, marks another step forward in Dharma’s journey of empowering female directors in mainstream cinema. With this, the production house once again proves that good storytelling knows no gender—and that the future of Indian cinema is brighter when more women are behind the camera.

Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles. Produced by Karan Johar, Umesh Kumar Bansal, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Meenu Aroraa, Somen Mishra, and Pragati Deshmukh under Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, Dhadak 2 releases in cinemas on August 1, 2025.
