Satyamev Jayate is the first show ever in the history of Indian Television to be aired simultaneously on a private channel network STAR and a national broadcaster Doordarshan. The show is also dubbed in several languages including three southern Indian languages viz., Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu, along with Bengali and Marathi. Apart from Star Plus, the show will also have simulcast on STAR World (with English Subtitles), STAR Utsav, STAR Pravah, STAR Jalsha, Asianet and STAR Vijay within the STAR Network and other channels including DD National and Eenadu TV.[3] Besides India the show also aired in over 100 countries around the world.[4] On the broadcast of the show, Khan commented, "This show is being launched on a large scale. I had to make complete use of this medium. This is a baby step in that direction."[3]
The show was also dubbed into Kannada, but was however not broadcast in the language, due to an unconstitutional, self-imposed and self-enforced ban by the Kannada Film Industry, which does not allow a dubbed version of any serial or movie to telecast in the state. The Kannada Film Industry, however, does approve Kannada remakes of the same.[5] After the first episode went on air, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray requested the Karnataka government to allow the show to be aired. On the issue, Thackeray commented that "This show must not be tied up in parochial chains or barred from the public. This is our view."[6] Khan also requested Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce to allow the show to be aired in Karnataka.[7] However, the first episode in Kannada was later released into show's official site
