In a nostalgic and thrilling surprise for fans across generations, India’s iconic superhero Shaktimaan has officially returned — this time in a brand-new 40-episode audio series on Pocket FM. What has made this revival even more special is that Mukesh Khanna, the legendary actor who originally brought Shaktimaan to life, has once again stepped into the role, lending his voice and essence to recreate the magic that defined an era.
A Superhero Reborn for a New Generation
Titled Shaktimaan Returns, the audio series reintroduces India’s most beloved superhero with a modern twist while preserving the spirit and values of the classic 90s show. With immersive, cinematic sound design and purpose-driven storytelling, the creators have crafted an experience that speaks to both long-time fans and today’s young listeners.
The promotional ad-film for the audio series went viral almost instantly. The teaser humorously shows familiar 90s-style Bollywood villains trembling as they learn that Shaktimaan is back, setting the tone for a nostalgic yet fresh adventure.
A Bigger Enemy, A Bigger Purpose
In this new chapter, Shaktimaan’s mission extends beyond fighting the usual threats. Instead, he finds himself battling something far more sinister — human greed and environmental destruction.
At the heart of the conflict lies Mahatatva, Shaktimaan’s new nemesis. Once a guardian of nature and balance, Mahatatva has transformed into a corrupted force. His twisted ideology aims to restore harmony to Earth through drastic, destructive means, posing an existential challenge to Shaktimaan.
This elevated storyline reflects real-world concerns and brings depth to the superhero’s journey, making it relevant to contemporary times.

Pocket FM’s Shaktimaan Returns strikes the perfect balance between nostalgic storytelling and modern production techniques. The audio format, packed with cinematic sound, gives listeners an immersive experience that plays like a movie unfolding in the mind.
