Johar made a cryptic announcement in May this year
On May 4, the My Name is Khan director had quashed a lot of hopes when he announced through a cryptic post that the show won't return for another season. However, it turned out to be a mere marketing strategy. Later the same day, the director-producer clarified that the show will exit the TV space and traverse the OTT route this year.
