The actor teased filmmaker Karan Johar at the event over doing more shows than films.

Shah Rukh Khan, as usual, was at his wittiest best during the IIFA 2024 pre-event recently held. He was seen with filmmaker friend Karan Johar and couldn’t stop himself from teasing him. The actor teased Karan Johar for hosting more chat shows and focusing less on films.

Shah Rukh Khan roasts Karan Johar.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan was seen roasting Karan Johar at the recently-held IIFA 2024 pre-event. The duo will host The IIFA Awards 2024, to be held from September 27 to 29 at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. On Tuesday, they engaged in a fun banter during the event held in Mumbai. In a video shared on Reddit from the event, the actor told the audience, “Karan has told me he’s not going to rehearse for hosting; he will do it on Zoom.” Karan Johar looked taken aback and embarrassed after hearing this. He started speaking, fumbled, and then looked away, hiding his face with his hands.

Shah Rukh Khan continued teasing Karan.

Continuing to tease Karan, King Khan said that the filmmaker told him earlier, “‘Bhai main Zoom pe karlunga. Main badi jaldi jaldi karta hoon. Main toh itna hosting karta hoon’…Picture bhi toh bana mere bhai. Tu kitna host karega (I’ll do it on Zoom. I do it really fast. I do so much hosting’…Make films too. How much more will you host)?”

Karan Johar’s reaction to Shah Rukh’s remark.

Karan Johar burst into laughter and said, “I was thinking the same when Siddhant (Chaturvedi) said the same thing. I was like, ‘This is sounding so wrong on all levels for a filmmaker.’ I should be making more movies. That is exactly what I should be doing.”

Reddit reacts to SRK’s comments.

The post was widely shared on social media, including Reddit, where one user captioned, “SRK’s Wit and Humour is unmatched. He’s so charming. PS: is he hinting Towards a future Collaboration With Him?” A fan said, “That’s true though. KJo has stopped exploring and taking risks in his directorial work.” A user on Reddit wrote, “He has said this before also. He think kjo is wasting his time doing so much of other side gigs and not focusing on the storyteller he is.”
