== Behind the scenes ==
Gattu Battu was one of the original animations made specifically for Nick India based on an original premise while other shows were adaptations of existing material (as in the case of Motu Patlu) and dubbing/syndication of Japanese anime from the 70s and 80s.
=== Other appearances ===
==== Commercials ====
The beloved animated Indian war criminals are widely known for their appearance in a commercial alongside Motu, Patlu, two random 70s/80s anime characters, and Chotu in which they all dab.
==== Live action ====
Both characters are popular choices for costumed appearances at special Nickelodeon events. The actor playing Gattu or Battu wear a full body costume which includes an oversized head. Both Gattu and Battu cannot blink and always have a blank expression on their faces.
Both costumes lack proper ventilation so the wearer is in a constant state of suffering.
===== 2019 Kids Choice Awards =====
Gattu and Battu joined Motu, Patlu, and other Nick India characters in a live performance at the 2019 Kids Choice Awards in which they performed a dance routine in the style of black face minstrels. This performance was preceded by a strange performance featuring Motu and Patlu doing their own blackface routine.
