IANS Exclusive: Sanjay Kohli and Binaifer Kohli reflect on Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain’s transition from television to film

8 hours ago

Mumbai, Maharashtra: In an exclusive conversation with IANS, producer Sanjay Kohli and Binaifer Kohli shares insights into the reinvention of 'Bhabhi Ji' as it transitions from television to cinema. While the original show focused purely on light-hearted humor and punchlines, the new version introduces a fresh horror-comedy storyline with suspense, emotional engagement, and a new setting. Retaining its beloved characters and clean, family friendly humor, the film adds new layers, bigger performances, and cinematic scale without losing the soul of the show. Binaifer Kohli emphasizes that the aim remains the same to make audiences laugh while adapting to changing viewer preferences across television, digital platforms and the big screen.

00:00What is your creative vision?

00:01Actually, I don't do creative.

00:02Sanjay Ji and his team, Shashank, Raghuveer, they all do creative.

00:07So, Sanjay Ji will explain.

00:08So, what is the first thing that Bhabi Ji was created?

00:13It was all about only laughter.

00:15So, in Bhabi Ji 2, we have to say that Bhabi Ji was created.

00:20It was all about only laughter.

00:25So, what did we do in Bhabi Ji 2?

00:30First of all, we added a story.

00:34We added a story with a horror comedy.

00:38So, we changed the vision of this.

00:42So, there is a story.

00:43Now, people are in a different town.

00:46There is a story.

00:48Who is Bhabi Ji?

00:50Who is Bhabi Ji?

00:51What is Bhabi Ji's problem?

00:53Why do they hate us?

00:55Why do they hate us?

00:57So, we are telling stories about this.

01:00And, the comedies are still going on.

01:02But, they are doing some ads.

01:04This is an ad layer.

01:06What is the audience's spectrum of commercials?

01:10What would you do in the audience's expectations?

01:14So this was a challenge that ANN TV and the team of ANN TV has challenged us.

01:21It has been a challenge that we have been 10 years and we have other shows and abroad.

01:29In India, the audience is going away from TV.

01:35So when the audience came out, we decided to try something else.

01:41Our ANN TV is good.

01:44And also, we have seen this show in Z5 and the audience.

01:51The response is that we have added a comedy with storytelling.

01:56This is the advantage that people are sticking to it.

02:01So people are enjoying it and the story has gone.

02:05So what we wanted to do is that we have two points.

02:09If you want to show the theme, we will not show you.

02:13When the show started, there was a show in Shilpa Shinde.

02:18Then there were many years of Shubhangi.

02:21Now when the changes happened, it was a normal show.

02:26The grass is green on the other side.

02:30It has been messy as we have seen.

02:33So the wife who is Indian, who is a bit of a bit of a bit,

02:35she likes to get a bit of a bit of an infatuation.

02:39Like in the boys with little children.

02:41These people are not lechy or bad.

02:45They are only at one woman.

02:49This one's wife is very get a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

02:55So they are infatuated with each other. They never look at other women. They never even touched the other women.

03:09One time Aasir Ji had come as a tailor. Aasir Ji says that you don't take a nap and his hand goes away and he runs away.

03:19You have asked if there will be new characters or not. They will come a little, but the old characters are coming from different groups.

03:33But Tika Malkan, Tillu, Chacha Ji, Chacha Ji, the other characters are coming.

03:43So all of them will come back. There will be three new characters. Saksena is the same character.

03:51Saksena is the same character, but he is also in police uniform.

03:59So the characters are the same, their traits are the same. Saksena is the same.

04:05But all of them are the same characters. And all of them are the same characters.

04:11And in the theme, there is a bit of horror.

04:14What do you want to know about casting, which is a big challenge?

04:19Starting?

04:21Starting or now?

04:23Yes, now. 2.0.

04:26There was no challenge.

04:28There was no challenge in casting.

04:30In casting, we had to take the first one.

04:34And there was no challenge in casting.

04:36And there was no challenge.

04:38When we first cast and shoot, we made Anita Anita.

04:43that was another one.

04:47It was another one.

04:50And Rohitash Ji's role, the other one else was doing.

04:53But when we saw the first episode, we changed casting.

04:59And the cast was in Anjuri.

05:03And Rohitash Ji took place.

05:05And Soumya Ji took place.

05:07So we had a lot of challenge in casting.

05:09It was a challenge in the casting, but this casting will be 2.0.

05:14What is the biggest difference between TV shows and film moments?

05:19One thing is that Bhavi Ji is going to be 10 years old.

05:25I have been talking to Zee and TV team that this is so popular in North India.

05:34We should try to do a film on this.

05:37Even abroad and even in India, there are films on TV shows.

05:42They have done well.

05:43Our challenge was that we had to create Zee.

05:49After that, the budget was very low.

05:53Our challenge was that we had to change the TV.

05:56We had to change the actors.

05:59We had to change the whole film.

06:06We added the actors.

06:08Ravi Kishan, Mukesh Tiwari, Niruwa.

06:11They have a lot of stars.

06:13Ravi Kishan, Mukesh Tiwari, Niruwa.

06:16They have a lot of stars.

06:18We added that our show is very popular in Hindi.

06:24So Ravi told us that we wanted to take the film.

06:29He was very excited.

06:31Ravi Kishan told us that it is a very popular show.

06:33I want to make it a lot of stars.

06:35When we signed the show and shooting the show,

06:39Lapata Ladies became a very big film.

06:43So it worked for us.

06:45Ravi has done a great job.

06:46Mukesh Tiwari has done a good job.

06:48My current actors, Aasir, Rohitash, Niruwa, Anguri and Anita.

06:57The current people have done such a brilliant job in the film.

07:00Sir, what is your story and message?

07:05How do you connect with this TV version?

07:09They are the same actors.

07:11They are the same actors.

07:12If Vibhuti, Anguri, Bhavi has a line,

07:15they have a line.

07:16And if Tiwari, Anita Bhavi has a line,

07:19they have a line.

07:20If they have a line, they have a line.

07:22They have a line.

07:23The difference is that Mukesh Tiwari, Ravi Kishan,

07:28they have added to them.

07:29They are also behind Bhavi Ji.

07:31So this is a long journey.

07:35They have added to Bhavi Ji.

07:38It is a different fun.

07:40Is there any kind of sequence in the movie?

07:45There are a lot of sequences.

07:47I don't know.

07:48If you watch the movie,

07:49you will see it.

07:50There are many sequences that are very fun.

07:53It is a lot of fun.

07:55How does the fan base reaction to TV's film relationship

07:59do you have to impact?

08:01After the film release,

08:04I can't even know about it.

08:06But it is that the film is popular in the film.

08:10The show is popular in the film.

08:12The two of us work together.

08:15So I think the film will work wonders for the show.

08:19Mr. Absolutely,

08:21Mr. Bavi Ji,

08:22we have done the show about the controversy in this show.

08:24Mr. With your perspective,

08:25Mr. wakai has a strong perspective.

08:27Mr. No, no.

08:28Mr. No controversy has a strong perspective.

08:29Mr. any controversy at it?

08:30No.

08:31I do not remember about the controversy.

08:32Mr. So you have brought up the show with Shirkachi?

08:33Mr. Controversies,

08:35Mr. So the controversy has not written you?

08:36Mr. No,

08:37I have not written recognition after Shikaji,

08:38Mr. I have not written a question before Shwaghi,

08:40Mr. No,

08:41The original point was the original meaning that she was born in the beginning.

08:50She really does great it, she is the original meaning of the original.

08:58She is the original meaning of the original meaning of the original.

09:02She grew up and grew into the other community, but the original was the original point.

09:05She has also worked with her and everybody is very happy with her and everybody loves her so everything is going very well

09:24Today's television is very different so how do you think about comedy in the future?

09:31If you can see that in 2005 or 2004, until 2002, every channel has 8 weeks of comedy.

09:46It has been so many changes.

09:48So this is how it is going.

09:50And in 2005, all of the comedy shows were nearly closed.

09:56So when all TV came, there was a lot of comedy shows, so there was no comedy show in any channel.

10:03So this has been going for a long time.

10:05So it's been a challenge, but it's not possible to do that.

10:08It's been a film, it's been a lot of love stories, it's been a lot of action films.

10:11But in that, there's a lot of goldmalls, it's been a long time.

10:15I mean, I remember these two cult films.

10:17How many films have come out of David Dhan?

10:20Hero No.1, Govinda Ji's picture, David Dhan's picture, comedy shows.

10:26In that genre, there were rom-coms, Shahrukh Khan's films, action films.

10:30But it was also the same.

10:32So it's the same position.

10:34Like in TV, there's a lot of comedy scopes.

10:38Which will be a good comedy, which will play the character.

10:42Why won't it play?

10:44If you want to ask about the content of your content, what would you say about the content?

10:53Enjoy it, show is good.

10:54Showed in the first time it was fun.

10:56There was also fun.

10:57There was fun too.

10:58It's the thing that we really have to laugh.

11:02And the work we have to laugh.

11:04We're also upset.

11:06You're upset, right?

11:07You're upset.

11:08You're upset.

11:09You're upset.

11:10Enjoy the game.

11:11We will try to take a short break and take a short break.

11:16But we are making a story for you.

11:19Enjoy and enjoy.

11:21You think that slice of comedy films were made like this.

11:27There were films like this.

11:31There were films like this.

11:34There were films like this.

11:38Do you want to see all the films that you think should come back?

11:43We have 100% come back.

11:46Badai Ho, which was the one?

11:50Badai Ho, which was the one?

11:52Ayushwan Kurana and Anu Kapoor.

11:55That was a very early film.

11:58Now we have three films.

12:01The first film was a small scale.

12:08But in every place there is a comedy.

12:12Now you can see Bachan Saab's films.

12:16He did himself comedy.

12:19He did himself comedy.

12:23He did himself comedy.

12:25Mehmun Saab, Jagdeep Saab, there were so many actors.

12:28He was the legend.

12:31He was a legend.

12:34He had a lot of comedy.

12:36He was an ugly film.

12:37So you could see that he was the only one movie.

12:40You could see that Rishida came back.

12:42He was a legend.

12:44He was a legend.

12:45Yes.

12:47Let's do that.

12:48We can compare him.

12:49He was a legend.

12:51He was a legend.

12:52He was a legend.

12:53He was a legend.

12:54But this is that Bhabiji's house that we have made a film.

13:00You can enjoy it.

13:01It's a very funny film.

13:06We have made a film for family.

13:11So you can see that this film can come and come.

13:17So I would like to say this to all the fans.

13:20I would like to say that this film can come and support.

13:23If this film will be good,

13:26you will get to see another film.

16:20Sir, one more thing.

16:22TRP, what do you think about it?

16:26TRP is my fault.

16:28What do you think about TRP?

16:30Do you think about TRP?

16:32What do you think about TRP?

16:36Actually, I don't understand.

16:46I went to Lakhna, I went to Kanpur, I went to Ayodhya.

16:49I went to Indore, I went to London, I went to America.

16:54I think that there are so many people, they talk about the show only.

17:01I think that we talk about Bhabi Ji.

17:03I would say taxi drivers, Pakistan, India

17:07or Pakistan, I would say the Indian drivers, Indian cook.

17:11I would say, Bhabi Ji, what a show is.

17:13I would say the customers, Bhabi Ji show, and I would take it to him.

17:17I would say, you go with Bhabi Ji.

17:19You can find respect.

17:21Yeah, I would say in London.

17:23Yes, London.

17:24In U.P., I went to U.P.

17:25There are so many artists in the U.P.

17:27There are a lot of musical artists in India who are the number one musical artist.

17:35Jaisim told me that Bhabiji's producer is the only person who asked me about it.

17:41There are only 2,000 people who asked me about it.

17:44I don't know the numbers or the numbers, but I don't know that the show is so popular.

17:51That is why the film has been made.
