Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar will be back on the small screen with the fifth edition of the popular chat show Koffee With Karan on November 6 on Star World and Star World HD.

The launch date was announced on Thursday via a statement from the channel after much speculation.

In its past seasons, the show has seen a string of A-list Bollywood actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Gurinder Chadha, Farah Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt.

There were rumours earlier that Pakistani actor Fawad Khan would be the first guest on the show. But Johar refuted them.

He said: “No. I haven’t yet reached the combination. There has been a lot of conjecture about that. We are zeroing on episode one and will answer soon.”
