Bollywood film-maker and Dharma Productions owner Karan Johar is yet again in trouble. The Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) issued a showcause notice to Karan Johar's Dharma Productions on 25 October. As per reports of Goa Chronicle, the notice was served following complaints that after wrapping the shoot for a film earlier this month, waste generated by his film crew, including personal protective equipment (PPE), was dumped in the Goan village of Nerul. 

The ESG took notice of the matter after Lokhancho Ekvott Goa, a movement to save the villages and heritage locations of Goa, complained how a shoot by Dharma Productions, helmed by Shakun Batra and starring Deepika Padukone among others, left garbage around the Nerul area after they packed up.

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday reacted to a Twitter video that claimed Dharma Productions, the production house of Karan Johar, has allegedly littered a village in Goa with biomedical waste after wrapping up a shoot featuring Deepika Padukone.
