After penning Kasautii Zindagi Kay on Star Plus, scriptwriter Rekkha Modi has now moved on to Sony's Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin.
Modi was approached by the makers of Jassi a few days back and has already completed a major track for the show in the coming weeks.
Focus on Jassi
"I want to take the focus back to Jassi. I have been watching the serial on a regular basis and think it has great potential to grow."

Without divulging details about the track she has penned, Rekkha said, "Jassi is the heart of the show. I want to get the focus back on her and create some exciting dramatic situations."
