A glutton does not have to be 6'4" and weigh in at 240 lbs.
The story you have narrated is very interesting and solves the problem of where the army for the conquest of Magadha was going to come from. But that does not mean they had to cast Chetan all over again. Rajat looks very young here and 'Chetan looks twenty years old than him. It is ridiculous.
It is just Ekta's habit of dragging her regulars into every show of hers where she can squeeze them in. She could easily have found a more reasonably proportioned chap to play Malayketu. As things are, Rajat must be getting a crick in the neck from having to look up at him all the time!😉
