Fawad won’t be first guest on ‘Koffee With Karan’: Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar says Pakistani star Fawad Khan won’t be seen as the first guest on his popular chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’.

It was speculated that Fawad would be the first guest on the chat show. Asked whether he will begin the show’s fifth edition with the “Khoobsurat” actor, Karan said at the 7th Jagran Film Festival on Saturday: “No. I haven’t yet reached the combination. There has been a lot of conjecture about that. We are zeroing on episode one and will answer soon.”

In its past seasons, the show has been graced by celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Gurinder Chadha, Farah Khan, Anil Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

Talking about the show, Karan said: “It’s just another season. We have not created many more stars. There will be same lot in different combinations. Luckily, they (actors) have new enemies, lovers and controversies. So that keeps changing.”

“When people ask me ‘What’s new?’ I say ‘Nothing’. I am older, they are older and they just have some more combinations to deal with,” he added.

As for his films, the director is gearing up for the release of his film “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, which features Fawad besides Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

  • when pak actors asked about URI attack they shut their mouth and told that their nation(pakistan) comes first….pakistan terrorists have killed 1000s of innocents indians over past year and will kill more in near future..even then our so called intellectuals people wants paki actors to work in india…such foolish people…no shame is bigger than this for indians..raj is not against all pakis but against all terrorrist..this is time for all indians to unite and oppose pakistan and punch them hard..boycott anything related to pakistan…nothing personal against pakistan…but nation comes first…proud to be MARATHA…proud to be INDIAN…

  • Few Idiots on Twitter bash Salman for supporting Pakistani Actors (like Fawad), though he did not support anyone……If you read his statement without keeping hatred in your mind then you will find that he said 2 things in his statement:
    1st: Actors and Terrorist are not same….
    2nd: They (Pakistani actor or any other actors which belongs to different countries) came here because our government give them work permit and visa…..

    That’s it, beside this he did not said a single word in support of Pakistani Actors…..And what he said was absolutely right…..Prove me wrong haters if you can…..

    But interesting thing is before Uri attack everyone in India and in this site was praise Fawad Khan….I remember so many users here in Indicine who comment that “In ADHM only Fawad is the saving grace and there is no hope from others”………But after this attack same user suddenly start calling him Terrorist…..Does Fawad kills our soldiers….No……And that’s what Salman said in his statement that “Artist and Terrorist are not same”…….

    But some highly intelligent people start calling Salman Terrorist and advice him to leave India…..Like these stupid’s run our country……LOL

  • Sorry for Off Topic comment:
    /* Not at all. He was misquoted. People need to read the full statement that he gave. It was balanced and sensible. Having said that, actors do not really need to comment on current affairs, which includes sensitive political issues. What is the need? Media lays a trap, actors continue to fall for it. Media gets TRPs, actors get involved in a controversy and have all the explaining to do. Win-win for media. */

    Indicine totally agree with you, what you said in today’s AskIndicine, Actors should keep themselves away from current affairs and political issues……these media has lost their credibility, Media always play this dirty game to gain some TRP……And they did not thing that this dirty trick can affect someone image and it may cause outrage and create tension……

    Indicine I have a request, you may get chance to meet Salman Khan, so can you please convey this message this message from us (fans) to him (Salman) that in future he will not make any such statement and stay out of this, even though he is right or he only wants good for the society…………Because in our country “Freedom Of Speech” is just 3 words, which is written in Indian Law Book…….But in reality if someone try to speak freely, some politicians and some so called Desh bhakt start calling him Deshdrohi and do protest against him……

  • I think Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will fall under Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, MNIK and STOY category…. Semi Hi/ Hit Category because it only appeals to Urban audience. Kids don’t understand and like romantic movies so family audience may skip this one. Even YJHD had some massy song like Balam Pichkari but ADHM doesn’t have massy feel
    Whereas Shivaay due to its action/adventure background is more appealing to larger audience … I showed both the trailer to my 40 school students and all chose Shivaay over ADHM.

  • @ maratha u right nation come first look Pakistani actor supported their country but our actor supported paki actor that’s different between paki actor & Bollywood actor . Kya Kare secular jyada hai our Congress chatu hai . Proud to be Indian .

  • Karan admit the mistake and apologize….but you won’t…you will still pander to pakistan….its upto you – either you can have india or pak…..they have anyways banned our movies….now we will ban you

  • With all due respect to Bhai & his fans,I don’t hate Salman Khan(he is my 2nd favourite) nor I have any sort of rivalry with you bhaitards!U all have misinterpreted my question!Read the previous article posted y Indicine again
    In the last paragraph they have written “DO STARS REALLY NEED BIG HOLIDAY/WEEKENDS”!!!& on that basis I have asked u all this “IF SULTAN WAS RELEASED ON NON HOLIDAY,DO YOU THINK IT WOULD HAVE DONE 300 cr WITHOUT ANY OPEN WEEKS?”
    In Holiday weekends u get open weeks but non holiday weekends r always jammed with new releases one week after the other.
    In the same context I wanna say that if “AIRLIFT” had released on EDX(without or without clash) with two open weeks it would have gone past 150 cr (in clash) & 200 plus in solo release.MY PERCEPTION!
    I asked @Indicine,this question(which was clearly meant for them to answer)since they have written this statement in the previous article.
    #I M NOT A SALMAN HATER
    But,
    #AN AKKI FAN
    #luv

  • @maratha, if Pakistani actors did’nt said anything about Uri attacks then it does’nt mean that they r supporting those terrorists. They know very well that their any statement can create a big controversy. And do u really think that banning Pakistani actors will stop terrorist attacks???

  • death ranger@ . airlift did its best what it had to do.airlift was a multiplex oriented movie with no entertainment
    .lack of mass appeal . this kind of movie does not work in B & C centers(single screens)

  • @Death Ranger, how many open week Sultan get, if you forget then let me remind you that Sultan get only 1 week free run, because from 2nd week it get competition from GGM and after that next week again new movie release……So don’t give that lame excuse…….Sultan collected 300cr without any open week, if it gets 2 open week then it would easily cross Bajrangi Bhaijaan collection, because the WOM was excellent…..

  • When paki actors can say for them nation comes first y not v can say same thing…..shame to indians…pakistan has killed 1000s of innocent indians and will kill more in future but so called intellectual people still wants to work with paki actors …what a shame…plz ban anything related to pakistan & china too….they r biggest enemies of india….kudos to raj thackeray & nana patekar to speak their heart out….only maratha can say that….proud to be Maratha…proud to be Indian…
