Karan Johar has been producing movies under the banner of Dharma Productions for over two decades. The production house has two big upcoming films in the future, Jigra and Dhadak 2. As the release of Alia Bhatt-starrer is approaching soon, Dharma Productions has halted the pre-release screenings of its upcoming films.

Karan Johar's Dharma Productions recently issued a statement regarding the latest decision on pre-release screenings. In its letter addressed to the media, the production house stated that it has "unanimously decided" to stop the screenings being held before the movie releases.

"As we continue to evolve, we find ourselves at a juncture where we must adapt and innovate our approach. After much deliberation, we've unanimously decided to forgo pre-release screenings for our upcoming films," read the statement.

Karan Johar's Dharma Productions called the decision "difficult" and called it a "necessary step" to ensure that the audience watched those movies as "they were meant to be experienced". The production house noted that it would help maintain the excitement of the cinematic experience for the audience.
