Aatish Kapadia discusses the potential crossover between Khichdi and Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan team shared a wealth of delightful details about the film, along with amusing anecdotes and more. When asked about the potential for a movie crossover between Khichdi and Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, director Aatish Kapadia, who directed both series, acknowledged that the idea had indeed crossed his mind.
He shared, "While I've seen the characters from both shows come to life, these families are distinct in their own ways – one is white, and the other is red. Combining the two would be a beautiful blend. So, yes, the idea of a crossover has crossed my mind."
Actor Jamnadas Majethia, who produced both shows, weighed in on the idea, stating, "While the notion of a crossover is intriguing, it would be an immense challenge, not only in terms of writing but also in elevating it to a level where we can do justice to these iconic characters and actors. So, it's appearing to be quite difficult."
For those unfamiliar, both TV series have previously featured a few crossover episodes, which were immensely adored by fans.
