Saif and Kangana to promote Rangoon on Koffee with Karan, without Shahid

Mumbai: Koffee With Karan, which had been known for its pure, unfiltered banter, is increasingly becoming about film promotions.

The fifth season of the popular talk show, started off with Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt, who had then been seen in the well received Gauri Shinde directorial, ‘Dear Zindagi’. Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez, who’ll be pairing up for the very first time in ‘Reload,’ came and made their palpable chemistry well evident, months before the film’s release.

Aamir got his ‘Dangal’ girls to the couch, while Kareena appeared alongside Sonam, who’ll be her co-star in her next film. And then, Alia and Varun Dhawan are also set to make a second appearance to promote their upcoming film together, ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’.

Amid all these intentional pairings, now comes the news that Saif Ali Khan is all set to grace the couch, alongside his ‘Rangoon’ co-star, Kangana Ranaut. Moreover, the episode might be aired close to the film’s release.

Though Shahid Kapoor has appeared on the show alongside his wife Mira this season, he will not be seen in this particular episode, as per reports.

‘Rangoon,’ helmed by Vishal Bhardwaj, is all set to hit the theatres on February 24.
