In the latest preview of the concluding episode of the eighth season of his renowned talk show, "Koffee with Karan,"
Karan Johar revealed his candid response to a question about his feelings regarding not being able to launch star kids such as Suhana, Khushi, and Agastya, as
Zoya Akhtar did it in "The Archies." The finale episode, featuring comedians and influencers like Kusha Kapila, Danish Sait, Sumukhi Suresh, and Orhan 'Orry' Awatramani, promises to be a humorous and insightful wrap-up to the season.
In the promo, Danish Sait posed the question to KJo, asking him about the potential sting of not being the one to introduce star kids in contrast to Zoya Akhtar's project. Kusha Kapila followed up, seeking to know the depth of KJo's feelings on the matter, to which the director admitted, "Yes." Johar shared the promo on January 17th with a caption emphasising the season's dynamism and the forthcoming episode's unfiltered commentary from the special jury.
"The Archies," directed by Zoya Akhtar, featured the debuts of Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, and Aditi Saigal, among others. Lauded for its impeccable craft and storytelling, the film, based on the American comic book series of the same name, received praise from Karan Johar, who took to Instagram to commend both the director and the film's various artistic elements, including production design, cinematography, choreography, and costume design.
