'Sarabhai vs Sarabhai' returning with a seven year leap

Mumbai: Cult comedy show “Sarabhai vs Sarabhai”, about the exploits of a Gujarati family living in Mumbai, is returning as a 10-part webseries.

The show will take a seven-year leap and will return with the entire well-loved cast, featuring Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumeet Raghavan, Rupali Ganguly, Deven Bhojani and Rajesh Kumar, as well as a slew of new characters.

Produced by Hats Off Productions’ Jamnadas (JD) Majethia and Aatish Kapadia, the 10-part series will air on Hotstar. “From Maya’s haughty retorts to Rosesh’s epic poetry, every component that made Sarabhai vs Sarabhai timeless, will very much remain the hallmark of this series.

“That said, there’s much more hilarity and some brand new characters to look forward to. The wisecracky, intelligent soul of the show, will return exactly as our fans remember it, with more laughs and new stories,” says JD Majethia, founder of Hats Off Productions.

“Sarabhai vs Sarabhai did exactly that some years ago, bringing Indian audiences a kind of sharp, witty and contemporary comedy that they had never seen before. The buzz and love around the show was so strong that we had to bring it back,” said Ajit Mohan, CEO of Hotstar.
