'Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai' to return as web series
What's the story
JD Majhetia, the co-producer of 'Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai', revealed the comeback with a collective consensus amongst the actors, to release a shorter web series than a 'never-ending' TV production.
Rupaly Ganguly, one of the actors on the show said, "It is too early to talk about things before they are finalised... Let the episodes be written first. But, 'Sarabhai' will happen for sure."

No second edition!
In 2012, Director of the iconic 'Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai' Deven Bhojani declared that the show would never return with a sequel. While the entire cast is occupied with something or the other, replacing characters would take away the charm of the show, Bhojani had said.
