Controversy
editIn October 2019, Som Dhital, producer of the Nepali sitcom Bhadragol, filed a complaint with the Metropolitan Police Crime Range, Teku, against the Sakkigoni team, many of whom had formerly worked on his series. Previously he had instructed the team not to produce a new series that included any characters or plotlines similar to those from his sitcom.[6] Additionally, Dhital told the media that if another series with identical content were to run on the same television network, it would severely affect Bhadragol. Writer Kumar Kattel and actor Arjun Ghimire rejected the allegations, stating that the agreement between Media Hub and JPT Creation had stated that after 2076 Ashadh (June–July 2019) the rights related to the characters and plotlines would be released to the second party, JPT Creation.
