The first episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8 aired on October 26 on Disney+Hotstar and the guests were the steaming hot couple of Bollywood – Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
This was their first appearance together as a married couple and Ranveer mentioned that he wants to be in the remake of Sangam with Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor.
During the infamous rapid-fire round on the couch, Karan Johar asked Ranveer Singh a question that said, “In a love triangle featuring you and Deepika, which male actor would you not mind being cast to be the third character?”
As per reports, Ranveer replied, “Ranbir [Kapoor]. You [Karan Johar] wanted to make Sangam with the three of us, right?” To this, KJo replied, “Yes.” Ranveer, in full Rocky Randhawa style, added, “You are always boasting but make nothing concrete,” Karan Johar said he can still make Sangam. “Sign it?” he asked and Deepika said “done.” “I am dying to (make it),” Karan Johar added. FYI: The 1964 film Sangam was helmed by Ranbir Kapoor’s grandfather and legendary actor Raj Kapoor. The film also featured Raj Kapoor in the lead with Vyjayanthimala and Rajendra Kumar.
For the unversed, Sangam is the story of 2 best friends who fall in love with the same girl.
However, Ranbir Kapoor’s name came up more than once in the show. Karan asked Ranveer Singh which contemporary male actor he would choose to recreate the Dola Re Dola song from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, the actor picked Ranbir Kapoor.
Deepika Padukone also name-checked Ranbir during her rapid-fire round. When Karan Johar asked Deepika to name the actor with whom she has the finest “on-screen chemistry”. She said, “The truth is, I think, I have good chemistry with a lot of people. Ranveer and I have amazing chemistry, which is why we are even on this couch. But Shah Rukh [Khan], Ranbir. I had amazing chemistry with Irrfan [Khan]. I think I have amazing chemistry with Hrithik [Roshan], which everyone’s going to see in Fighter.”
