Production
We did a lot of research, stuck to the scriptures, and made the show with a lot of passion. We worked closely with the research scholars from various states of India. We spent almost two years on the research before Zuby and I decided to make a show.
Speaking about the series, director Dheeraj Kumar said, "Shree Ganesh is a show with many untouched aspects of Lord Ganesh which can be truly understood at dire times."[3]
Reception
The Tribune stated, "It triumphs due to its slick production values and neatly packaged anecdotes."[4]
As in April 2001, it was garnering a rating of 1.9 TVR in India.[5]
Syndication
Star Plus, DD National, ABZY Cool acquired the broadcast rights for the series in June 2020, during the nationwide coronavirus lockdown, as a substitute to its original programming.[6]
