I haven't watched the latest couple of episodes yet, but I hope they don't do a switched-at-birth twist. Especially not your idea that would desecrate Savi's regard for her Mother Māulī. I can understand a mother surrendering her baby for adoption because she doesn't want it, but a character who trades babies loses my sympathy instantly!
Is the black-and-white movie that you have in mind Raṅgapañcamī, in which Hamsa Wadkar played the single mother who switches her baby with its half-sister as revenge against the cheating Patil? Jayashri Gadkar played the dual roles of the grown-up half-sisters.

On Jīva Zhālā Yeḍāpisā, the revelation that Ātyābāī had given birth to Siddhi flopped. We all knew that Siddhi's connection to her parents and Sagar was deeper than biology - especially the love of languages and literature that Siddhi shared with Nandakumar. The adversarial relationship between Ātyābāī and Siddhi became one-sided. Ātyābāī's protective attitude for Sarakāra suddenly turned into apathy, and she tried to make Siddhi her heir without any emotional bond. The show's primary villain became unrecognizable. Chinmay Mandlekar shouldn't repeat that mistake here.
Arjun hasn't even met Sharada, and what big drama could result between them from discovering that he's her son? Bhima and Bhalachandra are dead, so there couldn't be drama between Savi and them as birth parents. Krishna'i, Vidyadhar, and Priya already like Savi, Nanda and Shali would continue to hate her, and Vishvambhar would still look out for himself. Balaram might think twice about his itheça çuragāḷīna threats against his own half-sister, that's all.
The field with the well belonged to the Khopade family, so the real heir has to be a Khopade like Bhima and Arjun. Savi being a Kawathekar wouldn't make her the heir any more than Vidyadhar, Balaram, or Priya. That's why my guess was that Bhima's brother Mr. Khopade might be Savi's father who used the Waghmare name to marry Sharada. That would make Savi biologically Arjun's māme-bahīṇa, and their marriage would be the type of endogamy that is acceptable in Marathi society.
