EXCLUSIVE: Khichdi’s JD Majethia wants to play negative in a Prabhas film, Says ‘Maybe have a fight scene too’

On his 52nd birthday, the actor-filmmaker gets candid about his new show Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey, propagating importance of mental health, his new hair look and shares an update on the new seasons of Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and Khichdi

Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and Khichdi producer JD Majethia turned 52 today. The actor-filmmaker is known for backing comedy projects, and Majethia vows to continue the same in 2021 as well but this time with a cause. The birthday boy says that he wants to spread happiness which in turn will help to develop a stronger mental health. “What we collectively faced last year was both challenging and disturbing, and a lot of people from all over the world are still facing that. Unfortunately, this experience has affected our mental sanity and I wanted to do something to bring a smile on people’s face. As a filmmaker I can do that with our comedy shows,” clarifies Majethia who is gearing up to launch his new show, Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey.

Starring Sarabhai actor Sumeet Raghavan in the titular role, Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey takes forward the legacy of RK Laxman’s original 1988 sitcom. “In 2020, most people celebrated their birthday on a zoom call. But thankfully I have the opportunity to at least meet my friends, go out with family and celebrate with my team of Wagle Ki Duniya on the sets,” adds Majethia. He propagates that the mantra to be happy is ‘eat well, read well and watch well’. 

“Which is why when Aatish (Kapadia, co-producer) and I were brainstorming about our next show post Bhakharwadi, we chose to make Wagle Ki Duniya as it has all the elements that we are talking about right now. Even with Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and Khichdi, we have met so many people who say that they still watch these shows whenever they are upset. And not only the fans but even big film stars and politicians have said that. I remember late Rishi Kapoor ji had once told us that he loves Khichdi and Sarabhai. He said whenever he felt low he would watch Khichdi: The Movie,” smiles Majethia. 

So will there be new seasons of Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and Khichdi? “We really wish to do it. Aatish and I have a plan for Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Season 3, but we need to discuss that with the channel and the actors first. We definitely are going to put in a lot of efforts for the next seasons of Sarabhai and Khichdi, both,” informs the producer.

Meanwhile, he is presently garnering a lot of praise for his new hair look conceptualised by his college friend and celebrity hair stylist Aalim Hakim. The makeover convinced him to ditch his hat after almost a decade. “It is important to feel good from within and outside both, and I am really loving my new look. My nephew from Canada recently shared a few screenshots of conversations from Sarabhai and Khichdi fan groups where fans were discussing my new look. However, getting into this ‘happy space’ is not an overnight task. One has to consistently look after itself, eat right, work out a little and should avoid stress,” Majethia points out. 

We have mostly seen JD act in his own productions, however, the award-winning actor informs that he is now open to more roles from other makers as well. “Some people think that i can only do comedy roles or play Gujarati parts, but I can do much more than that and I hope this new look of mine changes that perspective about me. In fact, not many know that before becoming a producer I had modelled for more than 85 brands. To be honest, I really want to do a film with Prabhas and play a negative part. Maybe have a fight scene too with him in the film. Imagine, if I can get into a brawl with Baahubali then I can do anything,” laughs Majethia.
