According to Bollywood Hungama, the actor is in advanced talks with Kill (2023) director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat for an action-adventure rooted in Indian mythology.

Clash of the chat show hosts

Simi Garewal and Karan Johar

Social media is abuzz with speculation over whether Karan Johar played a role in the ending of Simi Garewal’s iconic talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. The debate reignited after Simi liked a comment claiming her show was “shut down to launch Koffee with Karan”. A screenshot of the like, which surfaced on Reddit recently, sparked mixed reactions. While some argued it reflected a shift towards “gossip-driven” content, others dismissed it as a stretch, saying the two shows were “very different” and could have co-existed.
