The team will reportedly return to Mumbai after a brief schedule.  

According to reports, Shreya Patel and Vansh Sayani are roped in to play the lead in Balika Vadhu 2.

A source close to the development told a leading daily, "While the soul of the project would be close to original, it would be set in current times. The makers also want to address the changing societal norms and how it affects the younger generation."
