Yakku........
'Chandrakanta', the popular 1995 TV show is returning on small screen with the story of prince Virendra Singh and princess Chandrakanta's children.The new story has been adapted from Devaki Nandan Khatri's second novel 'Chandrakanta Santati' by Sunil Agnihotri, who also directed the original.
"The focus has now shifted to the next generation but the fantasy elements remain the same. The shape-shifting aiyyars, love, betrayal and royal politics will be played on a bigger canvas this time. We have introduced some changes from the original novel to make it more appealing to the young audience," Agnihotri told.
The director, known for giving TV hits like 'Yug' and 'Betaal Pachisi', says he did not want to do a saas-bahu drama and instead decided to bring back the show that went on to become one of the most successful serial on Doordarshan.
Yakku............one of the best cliche
