After kicking off the new season of Koffee With Karan with Salman Khan, Karan Johar is back with another high-profile episode featuring one of the film industry’s most popular couples, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna.
The makers released a promo for the upcoming episode on Sunday, offering a glimpse into the couple’s relationship, their conversations about marriage and plenty of playful banter.
The promo begins with Karan introducing them by saying, “We are inviting a blockbuster couple, and I am allowed to be cheesy.”
He then asks Vijay, “Someone this stunning comes into your life, was there a proposal?”
Rashmika then reveals how she brought up the subject of marriage with Vijay. Recalling the conversation, she says she told him, “Let’s get married,” to which he replied, “Okay, you ask me a hundred times.”
Surprised, Karan asks Rashmika, “You asked him a hundred times?”
She replies, “I asked him for an entire year.”
The conversation then shifts to Rashmika’s onscreen chemistry with her co-stars. When asked to choose between her Pushpa and Animal co-stars, Rashmika picks Allu Arjun.
Karan then asks Vijay who he thinks shares the best onscreen chemistry with him. Before he can answer, Rashmika quickly interjects, “Nobody.”
Vijay responds with a joke: “Rule no. 101 of marriage, agree with the wife,” leaving Rashmika blushing.
The couple also takes part in a quiz segment in which they have to identify actors based on popular titles given to them by fans.
When Karan says “Rebel Star,” Vijay immediately responds, “Prabhas anna.”
Rashmika correctly identifies Yash as the “Rocking Star.”
Later, when Karan mentions “Complete Actor,” Vijay cheekily asks, “Me?”, leaving Karan and Rashmika amused. The title is popularly associated with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal.
In another segment, the couple is asked to call a celebrity. Vijay calls his producer-friend Bunny Vasu, who answers the phone and tells Karan, “Hey Karan, it’s me,” confirming his identity.
The promo ends on a humorous note when Karan asks the couple, “Who will you find at Horniman Circle?”
A confused Rashmika asks, “What is a Horniman Circle?”
Vijay bursts into laughter and replies, “Horny people,” prompting Rashmika to exclaim, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
