Found the below article somewhere on web related to the story of the show. Interesting that the show was titled "Shatranj" earlier (though I can't decide whether I like the current title more or the previous title 😛)
"We had exclusively told you guys about Life OK relaunching as Star Bharat this August. We had also told you about the channel coming up with a political drama called Shatranj, which is loosely inspired from American Drama House of Cards. Sonal Vengurlekar and Bhanu Uday are playing main leads in the show, now Varun Toorkey and Aishwarya Khare will also join the cast and will play parallel leads.
Bhanu will play scion of a political family who is in love with Sonal but fate and political roots will separate them. Eventually Bhanu will be seen getting married to Aishwarya Khare. Though Sonal will return in his life as political opponent and Varun Toorkey would be the love interest in her life. The show will be battle of love and power between these four characters"
