Karan Johar never fails to surprise us with some of the most happening updates from Bollywood. From housing big parties to project announcements, the filmmaker keeps us hooked with his social media posts. Here's another big news from his side. And, this time, it's about a new project that we may see soon. Karan Johar has announced through an Instagram post that his Dharma Productions and Fox Star Studios have now acquired the rights to the Malayalam romance film Hridayam. He wrote, "I am so delighted and honoured to share this news with you. Dharma Productions and Fox Star Studios have acquired the rights to a beautiful, coming-of-age love story, Hridayam in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu – all the way from the south, the world of Malayalam cinema." He added, "Thank you Visakh Subramaniam and Merryland Cinemas for this huge win. Can't wait for you to see it. More updates incoming, stay tuned." Visakh Subramaniam and Merryland Cinemas were the producers behind the Malayalam original movie. The film was written and directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, who is best known for his 2012 movie Thattathin Marayathu.
