Mukesh
Khanna
is
in
talks
to
revive
the

by
a
leading
daily

saying,
"We
are
planning
the
return
of
Shaktimaan
on
television
and
the
discussions
are
going

with
few
channels.
I

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.
I
want
to
try
and
match
up
with
the
look
that
I
had
15
years
back.
People
relate
to
me
as
Shaktimaan
and
I
can't
offer
the
role
to
anyone."
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."
