Editions
Kadak Badshahi has been performed in two different editions, over a gap of 3 years.

First Edition
The first edition of Kadak Badshahi took place in the Natarani amphitheatre, which has an intimate space, from October 31, 2014 to November 9, 2014 with 11 consecutive shows. This was the very first time that Malika Sarabhai had staged her play. It was a huge hit and so, on demand the Darpana Academy of Performing Arts again staged the play every day from December 3, 2014 to December 9, 2014 at Natarani. And the last time that the first edition of this play was staged, was in January 2015. With this, Kadak Badshahi had been staged 33 times, over 3 seasons and had become a success in Ahmedabad.

Second Edition
The second edition of this play is called Kadak Badshahi 2.0. After the fame of the first edition, Malika Sarabhai decided to come up with its second edition, with a few changes involved. This took place at the Shreyas Foundation, which is a bigger venue than Natarani. When the second edition was going on, Natarani was being rebuilt and so they had to change the venue. The dates for Kadak Badshahi 2.0 were from January 18, 2018 to February 1, 2018. Sarabhai had also revealed that the second edition would be more focused on Gandhi's Satyagrah for Ahmedabad's mill workers as it completed 100 years in 2018. One more added feauture was "Navsarjan", which meant the performance of 30-40 dancers for 10-15 minutes in the beginning of the play. Kadak Badshahi 2.0 had a heritage angle to it also, as Ahmedabad was given the title of India's first heritage city by UNESCO, and so the writers thought the Amdavadis should know why their city got this tag. This newer version also included more about the Navnirman Andolan in 1974 which was started in Ahmedabad.
