Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has treated the audience with a lot of blockbuster films, has announced his next, action film on his 50th birthday. He shared a long note on social media and revealed that he will start shooting for it in April 2023 after his film 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani' starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh releases in February 2023.

In his note, Karan talked about turning 50. He also said that some people call it a 'mid-life crisis' but he proudly calls it 'just living life without any apologies'.

Karan's note read, "Hello all, This is a note of reflection and one of immense excitement! I turn 50 today (a number that seemed like a distant nightmare), while I know it's kind of a mid-point of my life but I can't help my wannabe millennial self from existing. Some call it a mid-life crisis, I proudly call it just 'living life without any apologies'. I have worked in the movie industry for over 27 years and I'm blessed to have had the best experience ever!!! Telling stories, creating content, nurturing talent and watching the finest artists perform in front of my privileged eyes... these years are like being in a massive dream that made all the sleeplessness seem worthwhile! I am grateful for the brickbats, the bouquets, the praising souls, the public trolls...ALL OF IT!!! It's all been a huge part of my learning curve and self growth...."

The note further read, "The one aspect that I believe I am most passionate about is being a filmmaker! In the past I have always taken long gaps between my films but today on this special day I would like to announce my next directorial feature.... Rocky our Rani ki Prem Kahani will release on the rot' of February 2023 And I will commence the shoot of my ACTION FILM in APRIL 2023. Need your blessings and love! And I have to shamelessly sign off by saying JugJugg Jeeyo to all of you.... My love forever, KARAN JOHAR."
