Most epithelial cell lines under certain stress change shape. Therefore, thawing another vial may not help you. You may want to identify the source of stress under your culture conditions. To start, have an another cell line that under similar culture conditions does not change the shape (control). See if your medium is low in glutamine or other essential growth components. Serum source can be a contributing factor.

_the things discussed about trypsinization time, cell density requirement for maintenance or lifting cells too early once trypsinize (within day or 2), change in culture vessel?? after taking all care about these aspects; still have you facing the same problem?
I have had the same characteristic. It is not very clear which factor has actually the impact to transform the cells morphology. It's well-known, however, several passages will have detrimental genomic changes, that might includes decrease/increase in the chromosomes number.
Hello Hina check your medium. RPMI probably is not the appropriate medium. Try the medium recommended by ATCC for this cell line. Hopefully, Your problems may sort out just by doing that. Please post back if it improved by doing that. Best wishes
