Recently
it
was
announced
that
Sony
Pictures
is
bringing
back
the
iconic
Indian
superhero
Shaktimaan
on
the
big
screen
as
a
trilogy.
The
iconic
TV
show
featured
actor
Mukesh
Khanna
as
the
titular
superhero
and
his
alter
ego
Pandit
Gangadhar
Vidhyadhar
Mayadhar
Omkarnath
Shastriji,
a
geeky
photographer
at
a
newspaper.
As
soon
as
the
news
broke
out,
fans
couldn't
stop
expressing
their
excitement
about
the
comeback
of
their
favourite
superhero
in
the
big
screen
adaptation.
While
the
makers
revealed
that
the
movie
will
star
a
top
Indian
hero
as
Shaktimaan,
they
are
yet
to
announce
his
name.
Amid
this,
the
original
Shaktimaan
Mukesh
Khanna
who
is
also
one
of
the
producers
of
the
film
opened
up
on
the
big
screen
adaptation
in
a
chat
with
ETimes.
Khanna
revealed
that
they
have
been
working
on
this
movie
for
quite
some
time
but
were
waiting
for
the
right
time
to
make
the
announcement.
He
further
that
more
than
being
happy,
he
was
"relieved" that
he
could
keep
his
promise
to
the
fans
as
he
had
hinted
at
the
film
before.
Spilling
the
beans
on
the
Shaktimaan
film,
he
said,
"He
is
the
biggest
superhero
in
the
world
because
the
kind
of
powers
he
has,
no
other
superhero
has.
Shaktimaan
will
remain
the
same,
things
around
him
will
change.
It
will
be
made
on
a
higher
scale
and
keeping
today's
scenario
in
mind.
Shaktimaan
will
retain
its
originality
and
the
essence
will
not
change
even
in
the
film."
Well,
it
would
be
interesting
to
watch
which
Indian
star
would
step
into
Mukesh
Khanna's
shoes
for
this
much
anticipated
flick.
