Sunil Agnihotri is a Bollywood film and TV producer and director. He has been described as the "king of television costume dramas".
Work Jai Ganesha was released in 1999 and was appreciated. He then went on to produce and direct in 1998 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.
King Features Syndicate filed a case arguing that Agnihotri had copied the idea of The Phantom comic strips for the Betaal series. However, the court said that only the unique expression of an idea could be protected, not the idea itself.
The serial was full of songs, which were released on cassette, and was shot like a musical.
