• The child artists, initially considered for Shatrughan Sinha's sons, were eventually chosen from Maharashtra for their innocent faces and acting potential.
• Sagar ultimately controlled the mischievous Luv-Kush by using a snake, which was on set for shooting, to scare them into cooperating and delivering their dialogues.
• This anecdote highlights the unique challenges and creative solutions employed during the production of the iconic 'Ramayan' series.
