Sanjivani 2’s makers are doing everything in their power to revive the interest of the viewers in the show. In the context, producer Siddharth Malhotra has shared that Gaurav Chopra will play the new protagonist of “Sanjivani 2”. The actor too is all set to spearhead the change in the story of the medical drama show.
As the show ventures into a 3-year leap, this new entry might spice up the things. In an interaction with Bombay Times, Gaurav talked about his role and a few more aspects of playing the protagonist in such a popular show.
“Last year when I was doing ‘Devdas’, Siddharth had come in and seen it with his wife. That’s when he mentioned that he had something in mind for me. He called me soon after and had a very clear idea about my character. I heard about the role and I could very easily imagine myself doing it. In their words, they were looking for somebody to bring gravitas into the story and also a new relationship with Ishani – the protagonist of the show,” Gaurav told.
We already know that Mohnish Bahl and Rohit Roy have quit the show and will not be seen returning as well.
“As far as coming on board after two other senior actors – Rohit and Mohnishji, I can’t say too much because their tracks have ended before I’ve entered. I am here to spearhead this new change, this new phase, this new story and of course I’m excited! And a little anxious to see how the audience reacts. Fingers crossed,” said Gaurav.
Elaborating on Gaurav’s character, Malhotra shared: “Gaurav will play the new parallel lead. He is a rich well-educated investor, who is the new owner of Sanjivani. He values relationships over materialism and has a unique way of getting things done. He is respectful towards women and the marginalised. He respects doctors and is obsessed about the well being of patients.”
