In the video, he requested viewers and the government to stop piracy as it supports terrorism and urged them to use legitimate streaming services that offer legal access to movies and TV shows and to avoid visiting websites that offer pirated movies or TV shows.

Earlier, talking about ‘Khichdi 2’, actor-producer Jamnadas Majethia shared his excitement and told ANI, “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…”
