Karan Johar goes silent for the launch of Koffee with Karan Season 5

8 October 2016

With every passing day there is growing curiosity about the guests on Koffee with Karan and what this season truly has in store. With the date now announced as 6th November, Star World has just released a promo to announce the launch of the show.
There has been a lot of buzz on what Karan has to say about the upcoming season and while the hope was that he will reveal details through the campaign, the fact is that he has gone zip-lipped about what the new season has in store. But all hope is not lost! The maestro of conversations does say plenty and more without uttering a single word.   
The promo celebrates Karan and his ability to get the hottest conversations brewing on the show. Karan, in his truly expressive style, narrates why the show really works. It simply does because of his equation with different celebrities. This equation allows him to engage with the guests on the show in a fun, candid and often, personal manner. Karan’s quick wit combined with his camaraderie with the stars makes the show as unique as it is.
Speaking about the thought behind the new promo of Koffee with Karan, a Star spokesperson stated, “Since its inception, Star World’s Koffee with Karan has left its mark on Indian television by bringing fans closer to their favourite stars. The show over the past seasons has become a headline destination where the biggest Bollywood revelations have taken place. And the reason is because Karan Johar shares a unique and different relationship with each celebrity that makes him the perfect host to ask questions as personal as they get. The current campaign ensures that Karan says nothing, yet through his expression says everything! We could not think of a better way to celebrate his true prowess and deliver this message.”
The rumour mills are still abuzz as to who will make it first to the Koffee couch! With no official announcement yet, the one thing we can be certain however is that even with this silence, Karan is promising us an action-packed season.
For a season that is going to be fun, personal and unique, catch Koffee with Karan Season 5 from 6th November, Sundays 9 PM on Star World & Star World HD

Star Plus to attempt reclaiming the weekend prime time with ‘Mad In India'

Star Plus - Marketing and content strategy Head, Nikhil Madhok said, “Comedy was on our mind since a long time. But we didn’t want to come up with anything just for the sake of it. We waited to come up with something that we believe in." Madhok who also wanted to make Sundays entertaining for the viewers, added, “The show was conceptualised after we decided to extend our weekend programming till Saturday. While our fiction shows are more women-oriented, we wanted to make Sundays family oriented.

Is the Media in trouble? Mumbai Press Club holds discussion on subject

Uday Shankar, Star India CEO said, “Just because the media has become capital-intensive, doesn’t mean that it has to compromise on your integrity. Every business has to have a value system, and the editor needs to be sensitive to that. Journalists need to wake up to the economic reality, and it can’t be denied. On the other hand, those who recognise that are willing to swing to the other extreme and do anything. That also is neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Channel V plans more events

Prem Kamath, channel head, Channel V, adds, "Participation has gone up by almost 100 per cent. We have had 500-600 participants earlier, this year we had about 1000 participants in each zonal."
