“I wanted to show the character’s flashback last time, but that would have taken the character of Shaktimaan off-screen for a couple of episodes, which the producers didn’t agree to. But this time we are going to do it. We have some kids in mind (for the role), and a solid idea how to go about the show,” he said. Khanna, who will be reprising the role and has lost nearly eight kgs to get into shape, says most of the popular characters from the show, such as Geeta Vishwas, Tamraj Kilvish and Dr Jaikal, will also be back. Currently, the 58-year-old actor is in talks with Doordarshan to air the new season. “I am in talks with DD, to air it every day from 6-6.30 PM. If I get that slot I will bring it there. Talks are on so let’s see. I would also urge other mainstream channels like Colors, Sony, and others to air the show via satellite. It will have a bigger reach,” he said.
