Shaktimaan soon became so popular that children began to skip their classes on Saturdays to watch the episodes. Taking this seriously the producers shifted the time slot to Sundays.
In 2019, Mukesh Khanna revealed the show had to be ended because the high broadcasting charges were bringing him losses, and not due to the complaints of children imitating the stunts.
In one episode, Gangadhar tells kids that he's a talented actor and asks them if they want to see him enact Bheeshma Pitamaha. This is a reference to Mukesh Khanna's role of Bheeshma in the Mahabharat (1988) series.
When some difficult shots couldn't be created, clips from old movies such as Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) were used.
After one hours when a shaktimaan episode ends, a small shaktimaan lesson for children " Chooti Chotti Magar Moti Baatein" had started, which is also liked by parents as well as children.
