Shaktimaan Wiki

Shaktimaan is the name of an Indian superhero character who is the main protagonist of the television series with the same name that aired originally on DD National Channel between 13 September 1997 and 27 March 2005. Once it was taken off air from DD, it was subsequently re-telecast in other channels such as Pogo and Dangal. The series was produced by Mukesh Khanna who also plays the role of the main protagonist Shaktimaan and his alter ego Pandit Gangadhar Shastri. The series was very popular among kids and adults alike in the late 1990s and early 2000s and still has a huge fan following. In a recent interview Mukesh Khanna hinted to the possibility that the series might restart in a new setting soon and that discussions with major TV channels are underway.

## Introduction

The portrayal of Shaktimaan is that of a human being who attained superhuman capabilities through several years of "Yog Sadhana" which is the practice of yoga exercises and meditations. His abilities became so profound that he could control the mythical "Five Elements" of life from whom he derives his powers. With the various powers bestowed upon him by the five elements, he became a superhero of immense capabilities. His alter ego Pandit Gangadhar Shastri is however portrayed as a comical character and is often seen as diametrically opposite to Shaktimaan in his demeanor. Shaktimaan lives in Mumbai city but can travel to any place in the universe within a short period of time. This has helped him in saving Earth from various extraterrestrial catastrophes such as alien invasion, comet and asteroid impact among others. The other major characters include Geeta Vishwas; a reporter of Aaj Ki Aawaz and Shaktimaan's love interest and Tamraj Kilvish; the main antagonist.
