Join us on Facebook 

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's debut magnum opus Saraswatichandra on Star Plus, failed to strike the right chord. Launched with much pomp and fanfare, the much hyped show is not doing well on TRP charts. It was expected to go off air but now we heard the channel has decided to change the production house, because Bhansali's TV production unit was not been able to slickly function.

If everything goes well Sphere Origin (the makers of Balika Vadhu, Crazy Stupid Ishq and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon- Ek Baar Phir) might take over the charge.

Jennifer Winget and Gautam Rode remained unavailable to comment.
