- In an interview, Siddharth while talking about his cult series Gujjubhai said,
First of all, this series of plays is like Coca Cola to draw a parallel line. It was never meant to be a beverage, but it became one by accident and is now an unbeatable brand. Same is the case with Gujjubhai. This was not pre-determined. I just gave the play a name, Gujjubhai Gaam Gajavyu and it became such a huge success that the producers felt we should use the name again and so we did Lage Raho Gujjubhai which was another turning point in my life. It completed 750 shows in three years and I don’t think any other play has done so well. It could still go on but fatigue set in and everyone felt we should do something else. I actually closed it out with a sold out show. This strengthened the name as a brand. No story is the same or continuous and the only constant in the drama is me.”
