Karan Johar to start another Koffee With Karan-like chat show after finale

Filmmaker Karan Johar is reportedly planning a new celebrity chat show after the ninth season of Koffee with Karan, even as he prepares to bring the long-running series to a close. A recent report said the 54-year-old is working on an original format under his production banner. The move is expected to give him more time for filmmaking and allow his production house to own the rights to the new format.

There has been no official announcement on the reported new show so far. However, the development comes alongside Johar’s confirmation that the upcoming ninth season of Koffee with Karan will be its last, marking the end of a talk show that has remained a major part of Hindi cinema’s pop culture conversation for more than two decades.

According to a Mid-Day



report, Johar’s reported decision to end Koffee with Karan may not be linked only to his plans to direct more films. The report said he is also exploring a new chat show that would allow his banner to own the rights to the format, instead of continuing with an established property.

The broad idea for the new show is said to be in place, though details about its format remain unclear. The platform, launch timeline and overall structure of the reported series have not been disclosed in the public domain.

The report also noted that several shows now begin on YouTube, build an audience there and later move to a streaming platform. A new celebrity chat show could allow Johar to follow a similar path while creating an original property under his own banner.
