CIOL Hooray! Sarabhai vs Sarabhai to return as web series

The show returns after a decade, JD Majethia the producer of the show confirmed. "We have received so much support from fans online, some of whom have even volunteered to finance the show if it returns. During the discussion, we agreed that none of us wanted a never-ending TV series but a shorter term online was a good idea. Once I return from my vacation, I will finalize the script and we will move on from there,” he said.

The show which featured a quintessential upper-class family residing in Mumbai, entwined the class conflict between the “sophisticated” Maya Sarabhai and her “middle-class bred” daughter-in-law Monica Sarabhai, in a hilarious manner. No doubt, the series managed to get a cult status, after it took the comedy scene on television by storm in 2005. "I would love to play Maya, but being an iconic show the quality has to be better than the earlier series," Ratna Pathak Shah, who played Maya Sarabhai, said. Directed by Deven Bhojani, the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai web series will have the original stellar cast—Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak, Sumeet Raghavan, Rupali Ganguly, Rajesh Kumar, Arvind Vaidya and Rita Bhaduri.
