Colors TV show in LEGAL TROUBLE; Dev Anand’s family sends notice

Now titled as 'Dev', show has Ashish Chowdhary in the lead role

Ashish Chowdhary in Colors TV show 'Dev'

New Delhi: Colors TV was all set to launch its new show ‘Dev Anand’, having TV and Bollywood actor Ashish Chowdhary in the lead role. But show is in legal trouble now and the reason is that the family of late Bollywood actor Dev Anand’s family has raised some issues over it. As per the source of TOI, “"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 realize that it would pose such a huge problem."

Most Wanted Detective? Or Most Wanted Criminal?? Hmmm.... 'Most Wanted' being the key two words.... 😅🙃

Well, because of this, title has been changed ‘Dev’ and also the launch of the show has been pushed by a week. Talking to the leading daily, Ashish Chowdhary said, “It is news to me, too. From what I 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." Ashish has earlier been also associated with Colors TV. He was participant in Jhalak Dikhla Jaa and won the sixth season of Khatron Ke Khiladi 6.
