Karan Johar gets ready to say goodbye

Koffee With Karan has been a part of celebrity voices for over two decades and recently said that the show was going to be a last season one. The filmmaker released a video of the process of how the show came to be in 2004, which was released in an emotional manner in late September. The director said that he had taken the idea to his father producer Yash Johar, who was initially skeptical. He looked at me and said, ‘Karan, you're going to call your friends and chat with them? Every day you do that who pays you for it?

Yash Johar died on 26th June 2004. Karan went on to shoot the first episode of the show on 16 August that year, laying the ground for a sustained and now an integral part of Indian pop culture. Reflecting on the guests and the discussions through the years, the filmmaker said, “A lot happened. I called lovers, I called friends, I called families, I called lovers who became ex-lovers. Some of them even got married. I almost ruined the careers of national icons and I'm still living with the word nepotism today.”

Koffee With Karan Season 9 airtime will be released in the coming weeks.

The launch of Koffee With Karan Season 9 is expected to take place around Diwali period on JioHotstar on October 14. The rest of the guests are to be kept under strict wraps, but Salman is sure to be the star of the opening episode.

It has been reported that Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan and some other younger actors from the digital entertainment and South Indian film industry are part of the potential cast list. The makers have yet to confirm these names.
