In an interview with Bombay Times earlier this year, Mukesh Khanna had said that: "For the last three years, we have been working towards bringing out the second edition of Shaktimaan, which is contemporary, but rooted in our values. We were working on the sequel because people wanted to know, aage kya hua."
