If Kuch Kuch Hota Hai were to be remade, Karan Johar listed his top picks for actors to play the lead roles. Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji starred in the 1998 movie, which served as Karan’s feature film debut.
Season 7 of Koffee With Karan, hosted by Karan Johar, debuted on July 7. The debut episode of the celebrity talk show, which is currently available on Disney+ Hotstar, featured actors Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh sitting on the now-famous Koffee couch. The show’s promotion has kept the filmmaker quite busy. In a recent interview, Karan discussed who actors he would like to play the parts played by Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji in a modern remake of his film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
In 1998, Karan made his directing debut with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Shah Rukh, who portrayed Rahul, the college sweetheart, Kajol, who played Anjali, and their buddy Tina, played by Rani, were all involved in a love triangle in the popular film. At the 1999 Filmfare Awards, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai took home the Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress medals.
When asked to name actors who may play the famous roles if the film underwent a remake, Karan responded, “I would choose Ranveer (Singh), Alia (Bhatt), and Janhvi” (Kapoor). Alia would take on the part of Kajol, Janhvi would portray the hot college Rani, and Ranveer would assume the position of Shah Rukh.
In the 2023 movie Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which is directed by Karan, Alia and Ranveer will appear together. In the 2019 movie Gully Boy, the actors were seen working together for the first time. In 2018, Janhvi made her acting debut in the Dhadak romance drama, produced by Karan Johar.
With the most recent Koffee With Karan season, Karan made a comeback to hosting after more than three years. Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra appeared on their final season 6 episode as guests. The Koffee With Karan season 7 episode one had the biggest first-day viewership of any program on the OTT service Disney+ Hotstar, the filmmaker revealed on Instagram on Saturday.
