Abhi and ash to end Koffee With Karan?
The grand finale of Karan Johar’s current season of Koffee With Karan will feature newly-weds Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. The couple will be shooting for the chat show in the coming weeks and the episode will air in August.
As a parting shot, KJo has also lined up the Koffee awards, where a jury comprising Malaika Arora Khan, Cyrus Broacha, Rahul Bose, Rohit Bal and himself will pick the best of the guests this season in categories like Best Rapidfire Contestant, Best Supporting Guest, etc.
After KJo bids adieu to Koffee With Karan, he is planning a variety show for NDTV’s soon-to-be-launched entertainment channel, Imagine.
Films first
The show will be along the lines of the Oprah Winfrey show, featuring stand-up comedy, songs, dances, skits and celebrity interviews. An uncharacteristically tight-lipped Karan says, “Yes, I’m in talks with Sameer Nair about a variety show. It’ll take off after I direct my next film.”
A source at the channel says that Karan’s variety show will be the television version of tabloid journalism, “but far more credible. The notorious ‘source’ for Karan’s spot-on spice will be unimpeachable. It will be authentic because Karan Johar is saying it.”
Adds Karan, “I have a commitment with NDTV to support and bolster their entertainment channel, but Sameer is at its helm. I’ll contribute as much as they want me to, so I’ll have to take a ‘Koffee break’.
First I will go back to my production house (Dharma) and do what I’m meant to — direct my next. I’ve always made one movie every two years and now’s the time to start a new film.”
