New Delhi [India], March 22 : Filmmaker Karan Johar is experiencing a rare kind of on-set anxiety, one caused not by production delays or script changes, but by missing out on the cinematic event of the year.
Shooting in a remote location with no access to a theatre, Karan revealed on Instagram Stories on Sunday that he is suffering from "Dhurandhar FOMO."
Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, Karan shared that he is currently filming in a remote area, preventing him from catching the film in theatres.

He also praised the widespread support the film has received from the industry, adding, "It's so heartening to see the united love for an INDIAN FILM," he wrote.

Karan's reaction comes amid a wave of appreciation from across the film fraternity for 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Aditya Dhar. The film, which released in theatres on March 19, has already registered a record-breaking start at the box office and is being hailed as one of the biggest cinematic events of the year.
