Yes, that needs to be checked if it could negotiate the sharp curves and ghats in that route.
With that previous stmt Arun bro had mentioned, even I agree to his point... the only thing to be done is 2 things:-

Also, swapping any kind of trains is not that easy, I feel. I don't know if that happened before in the history of IR. Extension seems like a safe bet.
Route has not been swapped for two trains afaik but, yes many trains have had changed of its route, best example is 16339/40. IMO, Vande Bharat, which is intended for a high speed rail connectivity, can take up the faster route. Whereas DD/Uday can take proper intercity connectivity irrespective of the route for it having such a coach composition.
I agree, VB could've been planned better. At this point in terms of speed, it is just a regular train and not a premium one.
