Veteran actor-producer Mukesh Khanna, who played the iconic Indian superhero Shaktimaan in 1997 on Doordarshan, has now hinted at the show’s return. He shared a teaser that looks like a sequel. However, the same has been getting mixed responses from the masses.
Talking about the Shaktimaan teaser it shows some scenes of Shaktimaan with small children and addressing the crowd. The teaser states that it is time for Shaktimaan to return as darkness and evil prevail over the children of today. They hail him as “India’s First Super Teacher, Super Hero.” We then see a scene wherein Mukesh Khanna, as Shaktimaan, does his iconic spinning movement, which depicts him traveling from one place to another. The actor then can be seen singing praises of legendary freedom fighters like Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, and Subhash Chandra Bose. The backdrop looks like a school premise.
