Jhamkudi's Hindi premiere

Manasi Parekh had shared in an interview that comedy has always been an integral part of Gujarati cinema and theatre, and the viewers have grown up loving the clean, simple humor that's been our strength for years. However, one space that wasn't explored much was horror-comedy. "With Jhamkudi, we decided to take that chance, and the way people connected with it gave us so much confidence in the story we were telling." She further said, "It did so well in theatres, and even when it came on ShemarooMe, the love just kept pouring in. That kind of response makes you feel so grateful as an actor and as a producer. So, when the opportunity came to bring Jhamkudi to an even wider audience in Hindi, it felt like the right way forward. I'm really excited for people across the country to experience the fun, the scares, and the madness we created with this film. It has received so much appreciation from the Gujarati audience, and I am sure it will also resonate with new viewers discovering it in Hindi for the first time," she said.
