Every 90s kid has grown up watching 'Shaktimaan'—their OG superhero. The iconic TV show, which ran on DD National from 1997 to the mid-2000s, featured actor Mukesh Khanna as the titular superhero and his alter ego Pandit Gangadhar Vidhyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastriji, a geeky photographer at a newspaper.
According to the makers, "Shaktimaan" will be headlined by "one of India’s superstars". Khanna is attached as one of the producers through his Bheeshm International banner.
The official Twitter account of Sony Pictures India shared a one-minute announcement video, teasing Gangadhar’s iconic specs, his camera, and finally, the big reveal: the costume of Shaktimaan.
This movie is being made by the makers of Spider-Man. But, Shaktimaan will be desi. I have prepared the story of the film in my own way. My only condition to them was that they wouldn’t change the story. People ask who will become Shaktimaan? This is also a very big question in itself, which I will not answer, but it is also certain that without Mukesh Khanna, there would be no Shaktimaan. Because if someone else becomes Shaktimaan, then the whole country will not accept him."
He shared some more details and confirmed that Rs 300 crore is being spent on the Shaktimaan movie.
After the super success of our many superhero films in India and all over the globe, it’s time for our desi superhero!"
Sony Pictures International Productions is set to bring ‘Shaktimaan’ to the big screen and recreate the magic of the iconic superhero, to be headlined by one of India’s superstars. Details about the director and other cast members are kept under wraps.
