, fighting the evil forces in 90s, have a reason to rejoice. Seasoned actor
Mukesh Khanna is in talks to revive the superhero saga again on the small screen.
"We are planning the return of Shaktimaan on television and the discussions are going on with few channels. I can't committ the date but you will get to see it soon. I am working on my look and body for it. I have already lost 8 kgs and will be losing another 8 kilos. 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," said the actor.
