After the lockdown, the series was shifted to Star Bharat. The channel changed its programming genre to comedy from drama due to which it was scrapped and the plot was changed completely to suit it.[18][19] Later, filming began in July 2020 post-COVID break and the show was aired with the title Gupta Brothers - Chaar Kunware From Ganga Kinaare from 5 October 2020, as a dramedy series to suit Star Bharat's comedy genre.[20]

In December 2020, Star Plus announced another Hindi television remake of Pandian Stores titled Pandya Store produced by Sphere Origins which premiered on 25 January 2021.[21][22] With the launch of the second official Hindi television remake of Pandian Stores; the first official Hindi television remake Gupta Brothers was announced to go off-air on 5 February.[23] But, later, Gupta Brothers went off-air abruptly on 26 January, earlier than the announced date.[24]

Deven Bhojani was hired as the creative consultant for Pandya Store in January 2021.[25] On his part, Bhojani said, "I feel privileged to be working with this wonderful team as a Creative Consultant. Brainstorming sessions with the team and the channel about various aspects with regard to the show have been quite fun. Workshops with the actors have also been pretty rigorous and rewarding. They certainly are one hardworking bunch and as a team, we are delighted to bring forth 'Pandya Store' to the audience."[26]

In March 2021, the show took a generation leap of ten years and the characters of Dev, Shiva, Krish and Raavi were grown up.[27] The first post-leap episode was telecast on 5 March 2021.[28]

In mid-2022, there were various reports of the show going off-air or going through a leap.[29] However, soon the ratings rose and all the reports were denied by the cast.[30][31]

During Shiva's death sequence, Kanwar Dhillon, who portrays Shiva, disguised himself as six characters, including a transgender.[32] Alice Kaushik, who portrays Raavi, was dressed as a ghost resembling Vidya Balan's Manjulika from Bhool Bhulaiyaa during the same track.[33][34]

In January 2023, the show took a leap of seven years. After the leap, new generation of Pandya children were introduced to bring a "fresh look" to the show.[35][36] In July 2023, the show took a generation leap.[37] The original main cast of the show, except Kruttika Desai left the show.

Casting

Kinshuk Mahajan[41] was cast to portray Gautam Pandya opposite Doshi. On preparing for which Mahajan said, "To fit into the skin of my character I had to lose about 5kgs and had a grueling diet. Also since this show is based in Somnath, Gujarat, I had to work on my dialect, luckily Shiny, my co-actor was my guide. Above all, shooting in Somnath and Bikaner was a blessing."[42][43] Shiny Doshi was cast to portray Dhara Patel, opposite Mahajan.[44] Doshi said, "I play a strong and positive character. I somehow relate to my character, Dhara. I am a gujarati, even then it was necessary to work towards certain nuances to meet the requirements of my character. We also attended workshops before we began shooting for the show."[45][46]

Kanwar Dhillon[47] was cast as the elder version of Shiva Pandya, which was previously portrayed by Harminder Singh. He was cast opposite Kaushik. Dhillon said, "Shiva is a very much regular guy who is fun-loving and emotional. He has a different layering with each character in the show and can't be the same with everyone. I have done a few workshops and hopefully, people will like my character."[48][49] Alice Kaushik was cast as the elder version of Raavi Shah, opposite Dhillon.[50] The role was previously portrayed by Jini Khan. Kaushik said, "I relate to this quality of Raavi a lot. She is almost always high on energy, she loves to keep her close ones happy. She is a ball of happiness, she is a magic wanting to explode. It's interesting that the whole of Raavi is a part of me."[51][52]

Akshay Kharodia was cast as the elder versions of Dev Pandya, previously played by Jovian Fernandes, opposite Budharup.[53] It marks his TV debut. Kharodia said, "I relate to Dev because I also come from a joint family and like Dev, I too keep family values as my priority."[54][55] Simran Budharup was cast to portray Rishita Dwivedi opposite Kharodia.[56] Budharup said, "I like the way Rishita is, she's blunt, outspoken and practical. I agree she's sometimes very rude, but that's fine."[57][58] Mohit Parmar was cast as the elder versions of Krish Pandya, previously played by Swarnim Neema. It marks his acting debut, Parmar said, "Krish has taught me a lot as an actor, the experience is overwhelming and I have learned a lot."[59][60] Kruttika Desai and Farukh Saeed were cast to portray Pandya parents, Suman and Darshan Pandya.[61][62]

In February 2022, Akshay Kharodia who portrays Dev, quit the show as he wanted to focus on his family. He later changed his decision and resumed shooting in May 2022. Akshay said,

"I had planned to quit the show, but now I have changed my decision. I will be taking a short break and will resume shooting for the show in May. My wife will deliver in April, so I will get a good amount of time to be with her and the baby."[74]

Simran Budhraup received death and rape threats after her character, Rishita, turned negative in 2022.[75] The actress revealed that she filed an FIR against the harassers. Budhraup said, "A group of young boys and girls would abuse and give rape threats. I initially ignored the threats as the character was bound to get disliked. But it went haywire when people started abusing, that's when I took a step and I went to the police station and lodged a complaint."[76]

In September 2022, Pallavi Rao, who portrayed Prafulla, quit the show, due to her dates not being used and her diminished screen time. She said,

"My role as Prafulla mami was superb. I was very happy shooting for the show but then the track changed and the story moved on to the family members. My dates were not being used. After July, when my track with Shiva ended, I realised that it will be long before Prafulla is brought back, so I thought it was best to quit Pandya Store."[77]
