Whatever they choose to discuss, we know it would be a highly unpredictable and charming dive into their dysfunctional yet adorable brotherhood!

Munna Bhai, Circuit and Janhvi - Lage Raho Munna Bhai

Inspired by their radio show, this trio should totally contemplate starting a podcast about spreading ‘Gandhigiri’ and helping people in unique ways.

Just like their original show, they could take listener problems and try to solve them with their unique methods.

Their honest lessons on self-love and supporting your loved ones no matter what would be a delight to watch.

The wholesome veereys - Veere Di Wedding
