The actor says he is working on his looks and body. He has also lost 8 kgs and in process of losing another 8 kilos! Mukesha further added, "I am not trying to get six pack abs.

When asked why they are not considering any young actor to play the Shaktimaan, Mukhesh said, "I was very young when I played the role of Bhishmapitama in Mahabharat. I feel an actor can't be restricted due to age. I feel age is just a number. It depends on how you look and if you will be able to pull off the character with full conviction."
