Here's why Shah Rukh Khan won't make it to Koffee With Karan 7;Karan Johar reveals 'Pathaan' connection

Karan Johar has confirmed that Aamir Khan will be a part of the ongoing season of his talk show.

Shah Rukh Khan is set to return to the big screen after over four years and has a few movies in the works. One of his most-anticipated upcoming projects is Pathaan, a spy action thriller helmed by Siddharth Anand. Filmmaker Karan Johar has now spoken about the movie, stating that it will cause a box office tsunami when it is released in the country.

In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Karan was asked if fans could expect to see either Aamir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan on his popular chat show, Koffee With Karan.

"Well, Aamir, yes. Shah Rukh, I think, should really only explode at the time of Pathaan. So I know he's not doing much, not facing any media right now and that’s the best decision for him because when Pathaan does come, it’s going to be a tsunami at the box office," Karan replied.

He also added that Shah Rukh has kept people waiting for a movie, and that the more the fans wait, the more they will give back in terms of love.

Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have worked together on a number of movies, such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and My Name Is Khan, many of which are fan favourites even to this day.

Pathaan, which is helmed by Siddharth Anand, is the fourth instalment in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe, which currently has Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), and War (2019). Apart from Shah Rukh, the movie also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham.

While Pathaan is expected to be released earlier next year, Khan is also busy with Jawan, directed by Atlee, and Dunki, helmed by Rajkumar Hirani.
