Mumbai: Ending a three-year hiatus, when Karan Johar goes on air with the new season of his talk show, `Kofee with Karan` next week, he has a different wish list as his guests, which goes beyond his usual Bachchans and Shah Rukh Khans.
The filmmaker said he wanted Bollywood diva Rekha, actor Ajay Devgn, and “Mr Perfectionist” Aamir Khan as his guests on the show.
Karan said he wanted Ajay Devgn on his show because of his enigmatic personality.
"But he is very shy and not talk show friendly. I would pursue him to be on my show because he is married to one of my favourite women," he said.
The show goes on air from November 7 on Star World with the opening episode featuring Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.
He said he has spoken to Aamir Khan and his director wife Kiran Rao too.
"Aamir has agreed but we have to work out the dates," he said.
Karan said last night he shot an episode with Imtiaz Ali, Raju Hirani,and Farah Khan and it turned out very well as if four filmmakers are having a conversation.
To a question on whether he would invite Ram Gopal Verma with whom he is reportedly not on good terms, Karan said he would like to ...but don`t know what the TRPs will be. I would like to clear the air with him since it is through the media that we are getting at each other," he said.
