New Delhi: The only superhero for the 90’s kids in India will be able to get back the essence on television again. Reports are that the blockbuster TV series Mukesh Khanna in the lead role will hit the small screen again.

Khanna, 57, who is till date popularly called as Shaktimaan both on and off-screen, said: “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.”

According to Mukesh Khanna, TV channels on which Shaktimaan will get telecasted are not yet decided. However, actor-cum-producer Khanna said he is having discussions with some TV channels now. In Shaktimaan, Khanna played the role of a photojournalist, named as Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri, popularly called Gangadhar. Gangadhar had an ‘alter ego’ of a superhero, Shaktimaan.
