Expressing her excitement, director Seemaa Desai says, “Kaushaljis vs Kaushal is a heartfelt exploration of the generational gap between Gen X and Millennials. At its core, the film is a story about love, complicated ,yet beautiful. It’s about family, with all its imperfections and second chances. We often see love stories about young couples, but what about those who have been together for decades? This film takes a lighthearted yet poignant look at marriage and asks: what if love doesn’t have to fade, even after years of conflict? I trust that audiences will connect with the endearing characters, laugh, cry, and see a bit of their own families reflected on screen. It’s a reflective film made from the heart for the hearts”.

Ashutosh Rana (Mr. Kaushal) shares: “This film is a delightful take on relationships, love, and the modern complexities of marriage. Playing Mr. Kaushal was an absolute joy. He is a rare combination of an accountant who loves qawwali. It’s a character full of quirks, emotions, and humor, and I can’t wait for audiences to witness this unique family drama. What makes it even more special is that it’s coming to JioHotstar, bringing this laughter-filled rollercoaster straight to your screens. Get ready for a heartwarming, entertaining, and utterly relatable ride!”

Sheeba Chaddha (Mrs. Kaushal) reflects, “Marriage is not just about love; it’s about understanding, compromise, and sometimes, even absurd battles! Mrs. Kaushal is a character that many will relate to—the kind of woman who has spent years balancing responsibilities, only to realize she has forgotten herself in the process. This film takes a humorous yet heartfelt look at marriage, relationships, and the importance of rediscovering love even when it seems lost. I had the best time bringing her to life, and I hope the audience laughs, cries, and sees a bit of themselves in her journey.”

Pavail Gulati (Yug Kaushal) describes his role, “Yug is stuck in the ultimate dilemma who is trying to fix his parents’ broken marriage while struggling to hold on to his own love story. He is that guy who is walking the thin rope trying to fix things , but life, of course, has other plans! This film beautifully captures how families, no matter how chaotic, always find a way back to each other. It’s emotional, funny, and deeply relatable. I thank Umesh sir for trusting me with Yug’s character. When I heard the story, from Seemaa maam it resonated with me so much that I knew I had to be a part of it. I’m grateful to her for this opportunity . I am sure audiences, especially the younger generation will see their own struggles reflected in Yug’s story.

Isha Talwar (Kiara) said, “Kiara is a woman who knows exactly what she wants—a loving, harmonious family. But what happens when love brings her into the middle of complete chaos instead? That’s the heart of Kaushalji’s vs Kaushalji! This film isn’t just about romance; it’s about understanding that no family is perfect, yet love always finds a way. I loved playing Kiara because she brings a fresh perspective on relationships, and I believe her journey will resonate with many people.”

Brijendra Kala on his character Aseemji: “I view Aseemji as that friend and extended family member we all need someone who stands by us through thick and thin. Much like his friend Sahil, he loves qawwali & they sing qawwali together. The scenes in this film are a riot! There’s comedy, drama, and many relatable moments that will make you laugh out loud. The film’s blend of humor and genuine emotion is truly special. Kaushaljis vs Kaushal isn’t just another family drama it’s a fresh, entertaining take on marriage and relationships that will make you rethink love, even in the face of conflict. Being a part of this madness was an absolute joy!”

Grusha Kapoor (Best Friend & Lawyer) adds: “As the lawyer friend in this family feud, my character is very progressive. Sheela aunty brings her signature one-liners to every scene. Along with wisdom, & laughter, The courtroom isn’t just a place for legal battles it’s where the heart of the story unfolds in the most hilarious and emotional ways. This film reminds us that even in the messiest relationships, there’s always hope. It’s a must-watch for every family that has ever fought over trivial matters yet never stopped loving one another.”
