‘Khichdi-The Movie’ due for release on October 1

MUMBAI - The cast of ‘Khichdi - The Movie’ promoted their upcoming film in Mumbai on Friday.

Written and directed by Aatish Kapadia, the film stars Anang Desai, Majethia, Rajeev Mehta, Nimisha Vakharia, and Bollywood veteran Supriya Pathak.

Produced by Jamnadas Majethai, the movie is inspired by a popular television serial ‘Khichdi’.

Majethia said that film was made seeing the popularity of the serial.

“The trend was changing, so keeping this in mind we thought that when you want to make a film, you look for a subject which would be liked by the audience. Here, the situation was the opposite - the audience liked something and they were telling us to make a film, so basically I think the idea to make this film came from public demand,” said Majethia.

The film will feature gags and situations different from the serial.

“The content of the film is totally new. The jokes, humourous interactions that were there in the television show, those will not be found in the movie. You will get to see a fresh look. Style is the same but storyline and presentation are totally new,” said Aatish Kapadia.

The film is scheduled for release on October 1, 2010. By Shaikh Sharik (ANI)
