Actor Mukesh Khanna’s iconic character Shaktimaan is making a comeback. The popular Hindi television show is returning in a brand-new format tailored for a newer generation, with Khanna reprising his role as Shaktimaan.
The veteran actor will lend his voice to Pocket FM’s all-new original audio series featuring Shaktimaan. Talking about the project, Khanna said in a statement, “Shaktimaan isn’t just a show, it’s an emotion that lives in the hearts of millions. I’m thrilled to return as the voice of the beloved hero and connect with a whole new generation of listeners through Pocket FM’s vast and extensive reach across India. The platform offers a great way to reintroduce Shaktimaan’s values, strength, and superpowers, but with new tales to today’s youth in a format they love.”
In partnership with Mukesh Khanna’s Bheeshma International, the series will introduce a brand-new adventure with an original storyline set in a reimagined world—designed both for longtime fans who grew up watching their favourite superhero, Shaktimaan, and for a new generation discovering him for the first time.
In an interview with ANI, the veteran actor had opened up about bringing back Shaktimaan for today’s generation and said, “I am carrying out my duty, which I started in 1997 and went on till 2005. I think my work should reach the public in 2027 because today’s generation is running blindly. They have to be stopped and told to catch their breath.”
Shaktimaan originally aired on Doordarshan from September 13, 1997, to March 27, 2005. Earlier, Mukesh Khanna had announced a motion picture on Shaktimaan in collaboration with Sony Pictures. Later, reports surfaced suggesting that Ranveer Singh would take on the titular role. However, Khanna firmly dismissed these rumours.
