Karan Johar says that he chose to make Dragon because he wants to make his mark in Indian cinema, and also because he wants to break the existing system in Bollywood.

“I am willing to take the risk of making this film because I’m craving to make my mark in Indian cinema. Dangal (2016) has opened the doors for actors, who are now willing to get out of their comfort zone. Cinema needs a new order. We need to break the system and build it such that we only offer a hefty paycheck to actors if the script is given the same amount of importance. We should spend the money on building the film and writing the content instead of paying exorbitant fees to stars,” he said.
Dragon is a superhero film directed by Ayan Mukerji, with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead. Dharma Productions bankrolls this film.
The film will begin shooting in October or November this year. Johar called it a huge gamble.
“It will be a trilogy and is the most ambitious film we’ve worked on,” Johar said.
