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.
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.
Due to the popularity of this series among kids and up to teenagers, the Raj comic (Indian comics company) took the right and started publishing comic book based on Shaktimaan which was illustrated by Dheeraj Verma (currently work in IDW)
Shaktimaan's costume was copied from Japanese pro wrestler wrestler Chaparita Asari ring attire. On a episode of Monday Night Raw wrestler Chaparita Asari wrestled Aja Kong and wore the costume that Mukesh Khanna would later wear as Shaktimaan. What is amazing is that Mukesh Khanna called WWE wrestler's "ghatiya WWF wrestler's with tattoo's" on a episode of his you tube show.
