“Karan Johar is going to come back with a new season of Koffee With Karan. He’ll be shooting for it soon,” Banerjee confirmed.

He further added, “He’s making another interesting show for us, Showtime, which is about nepotism in Bollywood. He knows something about it, I guess (laughs)!”

It is pertinent to mention that the web series was announced by Dharmatic Entertainment (web wing of Dharma Productions) of Johar in association with streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar in September last year.

The show, about the struggles of an outsider to make it big in Bollywood, will be helmed by Mihir Desai (Masoom) and Archit Kumar (Dr Arora). Indian TV actor Mahima Makwana and Bollywood A-lister Emraan Hashmi play the main roles in the title.
