Ace filmmaker and producer Karan Johar paid a tribute to his late father and famed film producer Yash Johar as his Dharma Productions completed 40 years in the industry. Forty years ago, Yash released his first production – Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, and Zeenat Aman starrer 'Dostana'. In a heartfelt note, Karan wrote though Yash is missed, they feel his blessings and find the “courage to combat and to create”.
Johar wrote, “40 years ago on this date you released your first film Dostana and thus began a company that was so close to your heart....all your tremendous karma is in every sunshine ray of @dharmamovies ....all we have done is bask in the glory of your goodwill.... we stand tall because of your teachings and pray every day that you are proud of all of us Papa!”. He added, “Dharma is a result of so many of us who strive everyday to spread cheer at the movies...we miss you ...but we feel your hand on our head and that gives us the courage to combat and to create ....I love you so much Papa.”
On the work front, KJo has special plans to celebrate 75 years of independence, as tweeted by him to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His initiative will be joined by major players of the film fraternity including Rajkumar Hirani, Aanand L Rai, Ekta Kapoor, Sajid Nadiadwala, Rohit Shetty and Dinesh Vijan.
