Johar's recent directorial venture was the romantic drama Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The film starred Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan and met with positive critical response and commercial success. It was particularly praised for calling out the problematic tropes of Indian cinema and being self-aware. As a producer, KJo is gearing up for the action flick Kill which had its world premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Another film titled Yodha, is slated to release in December this year. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra, Disha Patani and Raashi Khanna.
