The series was conceptualised and produced by Reliance BIG Entertainment with a budget of ₹50 crore (equivalent to ₹107 crore or US$13 million in 2020) and co-produced by The Indian Heritage Foundation which is powered by ISKCON. The series is scripted by Jeffery Scott.[2]

Big Animation made Little Krishna in two formats — 13 standalone episodes of approximately 22 minutes each and three feature films of 66 minutes each. The 13-part series was broadcast on Nick in India.[1][2]

Release

Little Krishna was first aired on Nickelodeon for south Asian territory in May 2009.[4] The series received a nation-wide recognition.

Evergreen Entertainment is distributor for the series.[5] Their CEO Steve Walsh commented:

The series offers such a fresh look from anything that we have seen to date coming out of India. It has already done phenomenally well since its premiere on NICK India. It is very well written, the animation is great and is in 3-D which adds to its attractiveness.[5]
