I think the decision of the leap was always there, it's just channel gave them a green signal right now. They must have thought about it way earlier, esp with manit's entry and terrace marriage and SR. They never had plans to show marriage between leads as to draw parallels between ars and mannat.
What i think the newly added twist by makers is, shruti's death. When sbs gave leap's news, they only reported that post leap plot will revolve around child's paternity but shruti's murder is definitely more twisted track than paternity. Dua's paternity is kinda easier to resolve as all it will take Vikrant mending his ways with neetu which will happen when he will come out of Vishakha's manipulation.
With shruti's murder, the only possible exit to all three vamps is death. Vishakha will be killed mostly ars, malla idk, might get killed accidentally? Or sent to asylum like OG? and ars will definitely be killed by Mannat if she comes at Dua. Exiting shruti, who actually has quite a major impact on the plot, mukta definitely made sure they have longer tracks post leap and reunion will take more time as Mannat will definitely hold grudge longer.
Personally saying, i don't think vimal will be married post leap. With shruti's death accusation and his family leaving him, i don't think vikrant will be in that head space. He has to remain alone so that post leap he will actively mend his ways with his family one by one. Making him more douchebag won't make any sense considering Mannat will be on the warpath already. Post leap conflicts will be mostly from mannat's side and to claim dua mannat, he will have to show that he is married to Mannat. Malla will stick around him as a bee thats it.
Also i dont know is it just me, but recently i have been noticing, ever since white uniform days have started, adsha's ss have grown exponentially, along with rushad, suwati, manit etc. Sharain and mona are hardly there, only neha can be seen on frontfoot. This gives me two conclusions, 1. Mukta knows the damage vamps excessive ss since past 2 months has done and that why she is bending over backwards to give majority of ss to the leads and prominent characters. So no matter how cocky mukta acts, she knows vamps brought stagnancy and now she is salvaging it my cutting down sharain and mona's ss, even in bts.
2. Vishakha will pack up first. In all the recent manipualtions and crimes, she is at frontfoot. So she will be thrown under the bus by other two when time comes.
