Dharma is a result of so many of us who strive everyday to spread cheer at the movies...we miss you ...but we feel your hand on our head and that gives us the courage to combat and to create...." He concluded the caption saying, "I love you so much Papa...❤️"
Dostana starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, and Zeenat Aman was the first movie to be produced under Dharma Productions.
