The TV show ‘Khichdi’ got a lot of love from the audience. This show started in the year 2002. The audience liked it so much that the makers even wanted to make a film based on the show. When producer JD Majethia was preparing to make a picture on the show, he was asked to cast big stars in the film. He himself revealed this in a conversation with Radio Nasha. He said that he also wants to cast Amitabh Bachchan and Paresh Rawal in the film.
JD Majethia said, “While we were filming the show ‘Khichdi’, we spoke to many people. A big director and a studio also told us that the script is very good. He said that when you are bringing it from TV to film, you should make it with big stars.
People will kill…
In ‘Khichdi’, Anang Desai played the role of Babuji and Rajeev Mehta was seen in the role of Prafulla. JD Majethia said that at that time he was told to cast Amitabh Bachchan for the role of Babuji and Paresh Rawal for the role of Prafulla. However, this discussion was limited to ideas only. The stars were never contacted after this. Later he realized that casting Big B in this role was not right. He thought a lot about this. “Afterwards we thought the public would kill us,” said Majethia. He said that it is not right if Amitji is treated in the film the way Babuji is treated in the show. He thought this because viewers respect Amitabh Bachchan a lot and his personality inspires many people.
