A week after Diwali 2023, Khichdi 2, the follow-up to Khichdi: The Movie (2010), debuted on big screens. After almost two months of its theatrical run, the family-friendly comedy film is finally prepared for its OTT premiere.
Khichdi 2 will be released on Zee5.
Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan' is set to premiere on February 9.
The film's main cast consists of Rajeev Mehta, Anang Desai, Jamnadas Majethia, Vandana Pathak, and Supriya Pathak Kapur. It is the fifth and most recent installment in the Khichdi franchise, coming after 2010's Khichdi: The Movie.
Talking about ¡®Khichdi 2¡¯, Jamnadas Majethia told ANI, ¡°Fans of Khichdi used to keep asking us when are we bringing it back. When Khichdi was released for the first time, it became a habit for people to watch it every week. So, they wanted to watch it regularly. The series ended and the movie came a little later. After that, a web series came too. They used to keep asking about it in the gaps in the middle. So, we thought there was a demand for it.¡±
Talking about his role, Rajeev Mehta shared as per News18, ¡°Audiences have always shown immense love for my character, Praful. In fact, whenever I attend events or functions, people come to me as Praful, and it warms my heart. That¡¯s why this time, we decided to give my fans a double treat. I¡¯ll be playing both Praful and Shahenshah Kimam Khaketukh. Switching between these two characters wasn¡¯t easy; many times, I found myself speaking like Praful while dressed as the Shahenshah but it was a blast playing both roles. I¡¯m confident that the audience will burst into laughter watching Khichdi 2.¡±
¡°The Parekh family goes on an adventure to save the world with Praful serving as an emperor of a fictional country Paanthukistan. The absurdity, the gags and the silliness return as the Parekh family¡¯s adventure transcends various landscapes ¨C cities, beaches, snow-clad mountains, deserts, and caves.¡±
