Can Akshay Kumar fill the shoes of Mohnish Bahl if 'Sanjivani' gets a Bollywood remake?

Sanjivani: A Medical Boon is one of the most iconic and popular TV shows in India of all time. The Indian television series aired on Star Plus from 2002 to 2005. The performance of all the actors is still fresh in everyone’s minds. The daily soap is considered as the first Indian medical drama shows. The TV show featured some of the talented actors in the Indian television industry. Sanjivani cast featured Mohnish Bahl, Gaurav Chanana, Rupali Ganguly, Mihir Mishra, Gurdeep Kohli, Sanjeet Bedi, Arjun Punjj and Shilpa Shinde among others in pivotal roles.

A reboot of the original show was also started a year ago on Star Plus. It also featured original cast members like Mohnish Bahl and Gurdeep Singh reprising their roles. However, the reboot version of the show could not recreate the same magic of the original show. Sanjivani proved to be a huge hit among the Indian audiences but what if the show gets a Bollywood remake? Here is a look at the Sanjivani cast if the show is ever made in Bollywood.

Sanjivani 2 news

Director of the Sanjivani reboot Abhijit Das recently opened up about the show and explained why the latest show failed to impress the audience in an exclusive interview with Republic World. Abhijit Das said, “Sanjivani was created almost 18 years back by Siddharth Malhotra, who also created and produced season 2. He brought back Gurdip and Mohnish Bahl from season 1 and gave it a whole new plot this time. It became younger and grittier. Today the audience wants a faster pace. More drama and more action. Even if it's a family drama, it should be very over the top. Sanjivani wasn't that. Siddharth could have sold his soul and done that, but he chose not to. It's art. Somewhere it fails business”
