Legendary actor Dev Anand's family takes action against Colors' show Dev Anand
Colors' show Dev Anand faces trouble.
Colors' latest offering Dev Anand, starring Ashish Chowdhary, is just a week ahead. But it seems troubles are brewing around the show even before its airing. And why?! So the family of the late legendary Bollywood actor Dev Anand has expressed their utter distaste towards the show's title. It seems to have irked the family members. After a lot of brain racking, the makers have now shortened the title to just Dev. The show has further now being pushed to a week late.
A source from the production house revealed to a daily, "We received a notice from Dev Anand's family, which was forwarded to the channel. They must have discussed the matter, following which the show got a new title. We didn't realise that it would pose such a huge problem." Further, Ashish Chowdhry, who plays the title role in the show, adds, "It is news to me, too. From what know, Mr. Dev Anand's family had an issue with his name in the title. To each their own. In my personal view, it's a tribute to a legendary actor. The name resonates with one and all and that says it all. But I understand the family's reservations, too.I had changed my handle on a micro-blogging site to my character's name — Dev Anand Burman. Guess it's time to change that as well."
The show based on lines of Karamchand and Byomkesh Bakshi will have Sumona Chakravarthy playing the female lead role with Ashish Chaudhary. The show will have episodic various cases that detectives will be solving.
