Karan Johar, Rana Daggubati
Rana Daggubati is all set to come up with a new talk show named 'The Rana Connection'. The official announcement for the same was made at the Prime Video's annual slate announcement event in Mumbai. Rana's show was announced by none other than filmmaker Karan Johar who has been running one of India's most successful celebrity talk shows- 'Koffee With Karan'
Karan and Rana have known each other for a long and how can this announcement go without some light-hearted banter. It was suggested that they play a game to find out who is better as a talk show host. Rana suggested the famous rapid-fire round where the Baahubali star decided to put Karan on the spot. As Karan is known to pose tough and controversial questions in his famous rapid-fire round on his show, Rana, also decided to go for the same tone. His first question was, 'Pick your favourite child'. To this, Karan asked back, "Between Yash and Roohi?' For the unversed, Karan is a single father to his twins Yash and Roohi. However, Rana clarified that they are not his options but it is actors Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan, whom he had launched in the 2012 film 'Student Of The Year'.
Further Rana asked, "Tell me one thing that is not allowed in a Karan Johar party?'
"Taking a video," replied Johar which left the audience in splits.
