Digital
Desk: On Thursday, the seventh season of Koffee With Karan began. Ranveer Singh
and Alia Bhatt sat on the renowned Koffee couch for the debut edition of the
Karan Johar-hosted celebrity talk show. They appeared together in the 2019
movie Gully Boy, and they are currently filming Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,
which is being directed by Karan. Ranveer claimed on the first Koffee With
Karan episode of season 7 that Bombay Velvet 'unceremoniously dumped' him.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who starred alongside Anushka Sharma in the 2015 movie,
was ultimately cast in the starring role.

decision to "be rejected for a role" and whether he meant Bombay
Velvet. Then Ranveer made it clear that he was "not rejected." He was
actually "unceremoniously dumped." Ranveer claimed that at the time,
his "star worth wasn't high." In addition to Vicky Kaushal and Karan,

critically panned film Jayeshbhai Jordaar, which was released on streaming
services in May 2022 after a theatrical run. Cirkus, which Rohit Shetty is
directing, is one of his forthcoming projects. Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani will
also include Ranveer and Alia. Last seen in Gangubai Kathiawadi, Alia. Her
future projects include Heart Of Stone, her Hollywood debut, Brahamastra Part

and Katrina Kaif, and Jee le Zaraa.
