KJo Makes It Official — KANK Is Becoming a Web Series
This is the announcement that has sent Bollywood fans into a complete spin. When asked if he would want to convert one of his films into a web show, Karan Johar confirmed: “We are actually. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. We’re adapting it into a long-form series. It will be out soon.”
Two decades after the film first released, the story of Dev and Maya — one of Bollywood’s most emotionally complex love triangles — is finally getting the long-form treatment it perhaps always deserved. The OTT format will allow the narrative to breathe and explore the emotional depths that a film’s runtime simply couldn’t.
Why KANK Was Always Ahead of Its Time
Karan Johar was refreshingly candid about the film’s polarising reception when it first released. He shared: “It released in 2006 to very polarised responses. I had many people who came and asked me whether I was unwell after that film because they said how can you endorse infidelity?”
The film dared to tell a story about two unhappy married people falling in love — a theme that was deeply uncomfortable for mainstream Bollywood audiences at the time. A certain age group of audience was appalled by the storyline, with some raising fingers while others would simply get up and leave the cinema halls in disapproval.
Today, with OTT audiences far more open to morally complex storytelling, the timing of a KANK web series couldn’t feel more right.
