TV shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 that made headlines for OTT release: Pavitra Rishta 2, Jamai 2.0 and more
TV show reboots that became popular on OTT
Pavitra Rishta 2.0
Pavitra Rishta was sacred because of Archana and Manav's love story and struggles. Initially played by Ankita Lokhande and Sushant Singh Rajput on TV, the rebooted version for OTT replaced late actor Sushant with Shaheer Sheikh. Netizens were furious over the move but slowly opened up and accepted Shaheer in the role, too.
Qubool Hai 2.0
Very few would remember it now but back in 2021, Karan Singh Grover and Surbhi Chandna did come back for the OTT version of their popular TV family drama, Qubool Hai. Titled Qubool Hai 2.0, the excitement for the show was at the peak but owing to the execution, Qubool Hai 2.0 did not work as expected on OTT.
Jamai 2.0
The OG cast of Jamai Raja reunited for the OTT version of their popular TV show. Yes, Ravi Dubey, Nia Sharma and Achint Kaur got back for the OTT version of the show and that got many excited. The story, unfortunately, did not connect as much as the hype for this one, and thus, we were left with just one season of Jamai Raja being revived.
Bade Acche Lagte Hain
Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar's Bade Acche Lagte Hain went through multiple transformations on OTT. The latest season aka season 4 sees Harshad Chopra and Shivangi Joshi in the lead roles. The season is seeing some success rate, much like the previous ones.
Sarabhai vs Sarabhai
We all grew up loving modern and sassy mother-in-law Maya (Ratna Pathak Shah) and her chemistry with very 'middle-class' Monisha (Rupali Ganguly) in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Thus, when season 2 was announced for an OTT release, the excitement was at peak. However, it soon fizzled out since the characters just did not have the traits that we once recognized them for.
All the above mentioned TV shows are streaming on OTTplay Premium.

Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani on Ibrahim Ali Khan's stutter in film: 'Wanted him to be vulnerable'
Director Kayoze Irani recently opened up about the thought process behind Ibrahim Ali Khan's character in 'Sarzameen', revealing how the young actor's real-life speech issues shaped a key aspect of the role. In a chat with The Indian Express, Kayoze Irani said the character's stutter wasn't written for Ibrahim but eventually became central to the performance. 'The speech issue was there in the film before Ibrahim was even a part of it. But I wanted the relatability to be there. I brought it out of him. Because the character needed to be vulnerable. In the non-aggressive scenes, I definitely wanted him to be vulnerable. So we designed the scenes around Ibrahim,' Irani shared. Ibrahim, who has earlier spoken about suffering from a speech impediment and hearing problems due to a severe case of jaundice shortly after birth, channelled those experiences into his performance. Irani also discussed how Ibrahim came on board 'Sarzameen', a project originally intended to be his debut. 'With Ibrahim, I was on the set of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023). Ibrahim was an AD (Assistant Director). He was filling in for Ranveer Singh as they were setting up the shot. Karan sir and I both were sitting behind the monitor and we felt he's got a face for the camera. So we decided to launch him. We did an audition, readings, and a six-month workshop by Atul Mongia with him. That's how we brought him onboard.' 'Sarzameen', featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Kajol, and Ibrahim Ali Khan in the main roles, is directed by Kayoze Irani. The film released on JioHotstar on July 25. the film tells the story of an Indian Army officer who learns that his long-estranged son has become a militant, whose only aim is to kill his father.
