He added, "The rest were all stars from South cinema. So, I thought it would be interesting to get one top star from one cinema and the other together to see the dynamics. They don't know each other and they are not friends. They are just professional acquaintances and it was a great show. It was a great episode with a lot of entertainment and fun!"

Samantha Ruth Prabhu will make her Koffee With Karan 7 debut with season 7. It is unclear in which episode they will be appearing together. Episodes of the show will release on Thursdays after the debut week.
