The show had been written, directed and produced by Ramanand Sagar, who received fame after making Ramayan. The series was shown for almost three years and ended in 1996 as it portrayed Krishna’s life in 221 episodes. The show had Swapnil Joshi as the young Krishna who interestingly played the role of Kush in Sagar’s Uttar Ramayan that came after the Ramayan ended.
