Karan Johar is set to turn host again, but this time the filmmaker will be accompanied by Akash Ambani and Parliamentarian Milind Deora.

The trio will host an upcoming bash at Mukesh Ambani's SoBo residence in honour of the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who is scheduled to visit India in December. In October, Khan had announced plans of touring Mumbai, Delhi and Amritsar, before heading to Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi across the border.

A source close to the development reveals, "The party is on December 3 and the who's who of Bollywood have been invited. Among those expected are Shah Rukh Khan with wife Gauri, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor with son Ranbir and Ranveer Singh among others. Prep has begun and the hosts have started sending out invites and planning the menu."

Meanwhile, Karan is working on a spate of releases lined for the coming year and after having recently turned radio show host, is also gearing up for his new reality show. With Rohit Shetty as co-judge, he will pick new acting talent. The winner gets a chance to make a Bollywood entry in their films.
