Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda
Koffee With Karan is preparing to return with its ninth season and the new season is already creating interest among movie fans. Several popular celebrities from Bollywood and the South are expected to appear on the show. According to reports, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna may be among the special guests this season.
If the latest reports are true then Vijay and Rashmika will appear together on the popular celebrity talk show hosted by Karan Johar. Their appearance is expected to attract a lot of attention because of their popularity as a pair.
Both the actors have worked together in films such as Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade., and are now set to appear together on screen again in Ranabaali.
The film is scheduled to release on October 16. Their appearance on Koffee With Karan could also help promote the upcoming movie.
Vijay and Rashmika have been the subject of much interest among fans for several years. Their relationship has often been discussed by movie audiences and the media. Because of this fans may be interested in seeing how Karan Johar handles questions about their personal journey and their professional lives.
This will reportedly be Rashmika’s first appearance on Koffee With Karan. However Vijay has already appeared on the show. He was previously seen in the seventh season along with Bollywood actress Ananya Panday during the promotions of Liger. His return to the show with Rashmika could therefore make the episode even more interesting.
Allu Arjun is also expected to be a part of the upcoming season. The makers are reportedly planning several special episodes featuring popular stars.
The ninth season may also bring together Vicky Kaushal and Diljit Dosanjh. A special episode is reportedly being planned to celebrate 25 years of Dil Chahta Hai. Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Akshaye Khanna could be part of this special episode.
Another special episode may celebrate 25 years of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, featuring Kajol, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaya Bachchan.
