A source close to the project told Indian Express, “While the soul of the project would be close to the original, it would be set in current times. The makers also want to address the changing societal norms and how it affects the younger generation.”
Balika Vadhu launched in 2008 was a huge hit. The drama series is regarded as a game-changer on Indian TV in the late ’00s as it dealt with the serious subject of child marriage and made Avika Gor, Avinash Mukherjee, Pratyusha Banerjee, Toral Rasputra and Shashank Vyas household names. The iconic show ran for more than 8 years (2008-2016) and is remembered for its outstanding performances, direction, and story-telling.
