EsselWorld has been involved in multiple controversies. The original land acquisition for 2.8 square kilometres (700 acres) was mired in controversy and claimed to be illegal.[6] Additionally, there have been allegations of illegal destruction of mangroves and violation of coastal zone regulations.[7]
The park's catchphrase is "EsselWorld me rahunga mein, ghar nahi jaunga mein ", which means "I will stay in EsselWorld, and do not want to go home".
