The film is directed by Aatish Kapadia and stars Supriya Pathak Kapoor, Rajeev Mehta, Anang Desai, Vandana Pathak, Kirti Kulhari, and actor-producer Jamnadas Majethia (JD).

'Khichdi began life as a theatre production. It is centered on the oddities of a Gujarati mixed family living in Mumbai. It was then adapted into a sitcom, web series, and film. The action-packed humor sequel will now be released 13 years after the first film.

Actor-producer Jamnadas Majethia expressed his pleasure over 'Khichdi 2' and told TC, "Fans of Khichdi used to keep asking us when are we bringing it back. When Khichdi was released for the first time, it became a habit for people to watch it every week. So, they wanted to watch it regularly. The series ended and the movie came a little later. After that, a web series came too. They used to keep asking about it in the gaps in the middle. So, we thought there was a demand for it..."

The film is all set to hit the theatres on November 17.
