Karan Johar and his Dharma Productions is moving from family entertainers to a sex comedy. But before he does that, KJo may just have to take mother Hiroo Johar’s permission.

It is learnt that Karan is producing a quirky sex comedy directed by Gippy director Sonam Nair. He confirms, “It’s too early for me to reveal. I can’t really go on record and speak about the film because we have to make an official announcement, but I will have to say we are getting into a terrain that Dharma has never entered or ventured into. We have an extremely interesting collaborator on the film, which we will announce soon enough. Let’s just say this is a film where I may have to take my mother’s permission before I produce it. I do plan to do that, but I am trying to delay it (laughs).”

What made him venture into the zone of adult comedy, a genre that good friend Ekta Kapoor, who is successful at? “I go by the script and I loved Sonam’s script. It entertained me. To me, I would never do something that would embarrass me, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t get into edginess and I think the subject is fun and edgy and which excited me a lot. I would never do something obscene or vulgar, but I would definitely want to do something edgy and her script has that.”

You read that right! Dharma is moving away from family dramas
