We thought this was a good time to release it online." The episodes were shot in the span of two weeks at Chandivali studio, the same studio where Shaktimaan was shot.
“One episode cost us Rs 3 lakh to shoot, when it should’ve cost closer to Rs 2 lakh. We’re publishers, we didn’t know much about film production and were learning everything on the job. That’s why it was so expensive,” added Ayush's father, Manoj. Well, it is time to show some love to this show as well as the creators took a lot of effort to entertain the audience back then.
