Trivia
- Although not India’s first sci-fi show, it was considered ahead of its time because of the advanced graphics (never seen before on Indian television) and screenplay it had. The show was a great success and still has reruns on Pogo TV. Despite being a kids program, the show found a huge fan following among adults too, nearly gaining a cult status.
- Except the control room of Ulka, the show never had any real sets. They were all computer generated graphics.
- The production house set up a separate animation studio named Maya for the show. It is now an institute of animations and graphics designing in India.
- Supermodel Madhu Sapre, the then fiancé of Milind Soman played the role of Venom, although they barely had any scenes together.
- The glamour factor associated with the show was very high because most characters were played by top models of the Indian Glamour world. Karthika Devi Raney herself was the hottest model on the Indian television those days.
- Diamond Comics published a comic book series based on this serial.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
