At the recently concluded official press conference, Sanjay Leela Bhansali shared his excitement and experience at making his television debut soap. He said, "It is a wonderful experience because we are actually able to create such a big scale and grand TV show. The creative team and the cinematographers have done on TV what is done in cinema. To realise that it is possible, maintaining the requirements of TV as a medium, which is basically a close-up medium, I think I learnt a lot. I am surely excited."
The story is an adaptation of a famous Gujarati novel 'Saraswatichandra'. According to the ace director, the story has been altered in order to suit the medium while keeping the basic value of the novel as it is.
