Renowned producer Jamnadas, popularly known as JD Majethia, continues to shape the landscape of Indian television with his banner Hats Off Productions, known for delivering a slew of successful shows. While his recent focus has been on bringing serious subjects to the small screen, JD’s collaboration with Aatish Kapadia has left an indelible mark on the comedy genre, with iconic shows like Khichdi and Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. In a candid conversation with Indian Express, JD Majethia sheds light on the possibility of a third season for Sarabhai vs Sarabhai and reflects on the challenges faced by Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan.
Addressing the fervent anticipation among fans, JD Majethia reveals that Sarabhai vs Sarabhai Season 3 is indeed on the cards. While confirming its existence in their plans, he emphasizes the need for a “wow factor” to materialize the project fully. With a touch of humor, he urges fans to offer their prayers, suggesting that divine intervention might be the catalyst needed to bring the beloved show back to life.
Reflecting on the challenges faced by Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan, JD Majethia candidly discusses the film’s less-than-ideal release. He attributes part of its underperformance to an unfortunate clash with the World Cup final, a critical event that diverted audiences’ attention away from the film. Additionally, piracy emerged as a significant hurdle, impacting the film’s box office prospects. Despite these setbacks, JD acknowledges the enduring popularity of Khichdi as a television staple, expressing confidence in its long-term appeal despite the film’s challenges.
Sarabhai vs Sarabhai remains a cult classic, beloved for its portrayal of the eccentric Sarabhai family and their comedic escapades. Originally airing in 2004, the show made a triumphant return with a second chapter on Disney Plus Hotstar in 2017. With its memorable characters and sharp wit, the series left viewers eagerly awaiting its next installment, teased with a cliffhanger ending that left Monisha’s departure hanging in the balance.
As JD Majethia continues to navigate the dynamic landscape of Indian television, fans eagerly await further developments on the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai front while cherishing the timeless legacy of Khichdi.
