The throne that actor Nikitin Dheer sits on in the TV show "Nagarjun - Ek Yoddha" is perhaps inspired by the popular American fantasy drama series "Game of Thrones".

Nikitin, who plays Astika (a snake) in the show, uses the specially designed throne which features hundreds of artificial snakes on it.

"The reference point may have been the throne from 'Game of Thrones' along with many other references. However, we have used snakes as our main element on the throne whereas throne in 'Game of Thrones' has knives as that's part of their storytelling," Yash Patnaik, producer of "Nagarjun - Ek Yoddha", said in a statement.

"Apart from that, I wanted our throne to look part contemporary and part ancient as it is Astika's throne, who is an immortal. Hence, it can't be a throne a Maharaja uses, it has to have more character and a rustic feel to it," Patnaik added.

Asked if he is a "Game of Thrones" fan, Nikitin said: "I am not a fan of the series as I have not watched it yet."

"Nagarjun - Ek Yoddha" is aired on Life OK.

Okay who said that Naagarjun is a copy of Got?? Both are poles apart in terms of story telling. One is an adaptation of a fantasy novel Song of Fire and Ice while the other takes inspiration from Mahabharat. Have the ones making comparisons actually seen this particular series? The makers themselves said that Astika's throne had GoT's Iron throne as it's reference point not that it is a copy. Before jumping the guns how about tasting oranges and apples???

@tinkerbell and shaina_b Who copied what?? Your comments only reveal your ignorance and that you haven't really watched the show. Those who have watched it can assure you there is little to no resemblance between the plots or even the concept that your labelling it as an inferior imitation of GOT. This article is only about the throne occupied by one of the primary characters and it only suggests that it's design has been inspired by the throne in GoT. So it's not a copy at all. Honestly any sensible person can see the difference here.
