Pankaj Dheer and Gajendra Chouhan play brothers in this series also. This is the second TV series by B R Chopra in which they play brothers. In Mahabharat they played Karna and Yudhishtra respectively.
Quite a few times the same actor plays two different roles in two different plots. Usually one is of a positive character and the other a negative character.
There are several references to Ramayan and Mahabharat. Some of the characters are also named after personalities who appear in these epics, for example, Public Prosecutor Indrajeet.
Quite a few sections of the series feature underworld dons. They usually go by initials instead of names or their names are not mentioned in the episodes.
BR Chopra directed the serial while he was approaching 80s.
