Mukesh Khanna returns as Shaktimaan in Pocket FM’s original audio series
Mukesh Khanna returns as Shaktimaan: For anyone who grew up in the 90s, the name Shaktimaan sparks instant nostalgia. He wasn’t just a superhero. He was a symbol of strength, righteousness, and hope. And now, he is back. Not on your screens this time, but in your ears.
Pocket FM is reimagining the legacy of Shaktimaan with an all-new original audio series, featuring Mukesh Khanna once again donning the cape, this time, through voice. The exclusive series marks a powerful return of India’s most iconic superhero, blending the charm of yesteryear with the immersive storytelling of today.
Talking about original stories of superhero Shaktimaan in an audio series format, Mukesh Khanna said “Shaktimaan isn’t just a show, it’s 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.”
For Pocket FM, reviving Shaktimaan is more than nostalgia. It's a step forward in expanding the boundaries of audio storytelling. This collaboration reiterates the company's larger vision. Build the richest catalogue of audio-first fiction in genres like fantasy, sci-fi, mythology, and adventure – not just in India, but globally.
Rohan Nayak, CEO and Co-Founder, Pocket Entertainment, said, “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. With our immersive storytelling, we’re reintroducing Shaktimaan to a new generation that connects more with headphones than TV screens. This reflects our mission to drive storytelling in fresh, relevant, and impactful ways.”
In partnership with Mukesh Khanna, founder of Bheeshma International, the series will feature a fresh adventure, original plot, and a reimagined world for listeners who grew up with Shaktimaan and those discovering him for the first time.
