Khichdi 2 trailer: Parekh family goes on an adventure, Pratik Gandhi pops up for a cameo. Watch
The trailer for Khichdi 2 promises a fun-filled adventure, where Kirti Kulhari and Pratik Gandhi feature, but the focus remains on the Parekh family.
The trailer for Khichdi 2 mounts the Parekh family's adventure on such a big scale that they're seen romancing in the Swiss Alps, fighting goons, in a chopper, being chased by villains in the desert, and in a big Bollywood dance number. It also provides ample laughs and features a couple of cameos. (Also Read: November upcoming movies: Tiger 3, The Marvels, BTS Yet To Come, UT69, Khichdi 2 and more)
On a dangerous mission
The title of the Khichdi sequel is Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan. It sees Praful (Rajeev Mehta) play an emperor in a grand movie. He takes on a beard, moustache and a royal costume and they embark on a mission to save the world. Their adventure transcends various landscapes – cities, beaches, snow-clad mountains, deserts, and caves.
Cameos galore
Kirti Kulhari, credited with a ‘special appearance’ in the film, reprises her role of Parminder from the first part, Khichdi: The Movie (2010). Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan also pops up as a don. She was also seen in the teaser released a couple of months ago. When Farah asks rhetorically, “Tum logon ko pata hai ye kitna dangerous mission hai (Do you know how challenging this mission is)?" the Parekh family expectedly replied, “Nahi (No).”
Even Scam 1992 star Pratik Gandhi joins his fellow Gujaratis in their adventure. He appears as a pilot of the chopper carrying the family. When he asks Prafful, “Aapko kya lagta hai (What do you think)?” he hilariously replies, “Joota (Shoe),” recalling how he's received every time he steps out of home.
