He helped filmmaker Dev Anand handle the production of his 1965 film Guide, which was successful at the box office. He continued with Dev Anand's Navketan Films and handled production of films like Jewel Thief, Prem Pujari and Hare Rama Hare Krishna.
In 1976, Johar launched his own banner, Dharma Productions. The first film produced by the company, Dostana, directed by Raj Khosla, was a huge box office success in 1980. The company produced a handful of other films in the 1980s and early 1990s, most notably Duniya (1984), Agneepath (1990), Gumrah (1993) and Duplicate (1998).
He was also an associate producer on the 1994 Hollywood film The Jungle Book.
The company had unprecedented success with the 1998 award-winning film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the directorial debut of his son Karan Johar. The film starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji was one of the biggest hits of the year both domestically and in the overseas market. The film was critically acclaimed as well, winning major awards. Karan's second directorial, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001 was also immensely successful.
Johar was also involved in the production and distribution company Dreamz Unlimited founded in 1999 by Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Aziz Mirza. He helped set up the company as well as handling the production process of their first film, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.
Kal Ho Naa Ho, was the last film he was involved in, which was a critical and commercial success, becoming the second top-grossing movie domestically and the top-grossing Bollywood film in the overseas market that year.
