Khanna will now voice the character in an audio series by Pocket FM. The audio show will reimagine the legacy of Shaktimaan, a press release said.
Khanna said “Shaktimaan” isn’t just a show but 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,” he said in a statement.
Rohan Nayak, CEO and Co-Founder of Pocket Entertainment, said it is a proud moment to bring the series.
“Bringing ‘Shaktimaan’ to audio is a proud moment for us. It’s a perfect example of how a timeless legacy can meet the power of modern storytelling. Partnering with Mukesh Khanna to revive India’s most iconic superhero, who shaped an entire generation, is more than just nostalgia. It’s a bold step toward building a rich sci-fi and fantasy audio universe, something that has rarely been attempted in the Indian storytelling ecosystem,” he said. PTI ATR RB
