Six months since the reboot of Sanjivani, producer Siddharth P Malhotra reveals that the Surbhi Chandna and Namit Khanna-starrer is set for a three-year leap. "All stories are interesting till a point, and stretching them beyond is senseless. A leap will allow us [writers] to add new dimensions, characters and storylines to keep the audience interested," explains the producer, before adding that the move should also boost the TRPs. "Leaps mostly affect TRPs in a good way."

In their attempt to revamp the series, the makers are also eyeing a new time slot. "We will bring in four new characters and a new protagonist [along with] his family," he informs, refusing to divulge more. Quiz him how the cast reacted to the news, and he says, "Actors who have been in the business know this is a natural progression. There were a few actors who aren't part of the new story, so they aren't pleased. But I believe this is part of the show's growth. If the story doesn't have the scope to do justice to their characters, then keeping them on board is a disservice to them as well as us."
