Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar on Koffee with Karan on Aug 12

Mumbai, Aug 9 (UNI) National award winner Shabana Azmi and Padmashri Javed Akhtar along with his son filmmaker Farhan Akhtar will be seen on Koffee with Karan on August 12.

The show, that will be aired on StarOne and Star World on 2100 hrs, has the ''very opinionated and individualistic'' couple talking about their warm relationship of 23 years. They share with Karan how they are so different from each other and yet have so many similarities, which makes living together all the more interesting! The duo share some funny anecdotes and experiences faced by them in the film industry. Shabana Azmi busts the myth that poets are romantic and declares on the show that Javed ''does not have a romantic bone in his body.'' Farhan and Javed Akhtar talk about the healthy friendship they share with each other. Karan asks Javed what he thought about 'Don' and how he reacted when Farhan told him he wanted to remake it.

The father-son duo also give their reaction on Ram Gopal Verma's remake of 'Sholay', according to a release issued by Star.

The show takes another turn with the rapid fire round. Some of the questions asked were ''which film, besides 'Don', deserves a remake according to Javed Akhtar? which recent song does he wish he had written? to which Javed Akhtar says, 'Beedi from Omkara', who according to Shabanaji is the most talented actress in Indian cinema? If she had Sonia Gandhi's private number, what would she like to tell her?' the release added.
