Besides taking the reinstatement of the show to the court, the grandson of Devaki Nandan Khatri stated that the production has not done justice to the Chandrakanta of Devaki. He also made an accusation that the producers intentionally misrepresented some concepts from his grandfather’s novel, including, the Tilism, Ayyari and Jaado-Tona. Also, the characters and the story of the Chunar kingdom were exaggerated further than what is needed, and the Chandrakanta shows off after a long time in the series.
