Controversy
Petition against releasePetitions were filed in the Supreme Court of India against the telecast of serial "The Sword of Tipu Sultan". The petitioners argued that the serial was not based on the real life and deeds of Tipu Sultan.[7] After hearing the arguments, the Supreme Court gave a judgment that the serial could be telecasted but that a notice has to be displayed along with each episode stating: No claim is made for the accuracy or authenticity of any episode being depicted in the serial. This serial is a fiction and has nothing to do either with the life or rule of Tipu Sultan. The serial is a dramatised presentation of Bhagwan Gidwani's novel.
Fire accident
A major fire accident took place on 8 February 1989 in the Premier Studios of Mysore where the serial "The Sword of Tipu Sultan" was being shot. Non-availability of fire fighting equipment and ignorance of fire safety standards have been quoted as the major reasons for this fire.[9] Loose wiring and absence of ventilators were further causes for the fire to spread. Instead of fire-proofing material, the walls had gunny bags and the temperature rose to around 120°C (248°F) because of huge lights being used for the shooting. All these factors contributed to the massive fire, and the final death toll was 62. Sanjay Khan himself suffered major burns and had to spend 13 months in hospital and undergo 72 surgeries. An ex-gratia amount of Rs. 5000 was paid to some of the victims of the fire
