Sunil Agnihotri is a Bollywood film and TV producer and director. He has been described as the "king of television costume dramas". [1]
Davaa was released in 1997 and was appreciated. He then went on to produce and direct in 1997 a series called Betaal Pachisi which was a very successful as a TV fantasy series. However that year, he faced a lawsuit involving the US. [2]
King Features Syndicate filed a case arguing that Agnihotri had copied the idea of The Phantom comic strips for the Betaal series. [3] However, the court said that only the unique expression of an idea could be protected, not the idea itself. [4]
The serial was full of songs, which were released on cassette, and was shot like a musical. [5]
