Sony Pictures India, on Thursday, announced it will back the film adaptation of Mukesh Khanna-starrer TV show ‘Shaktimaan’. “After the super success of our many superhero films in India and all over the globe, it’s time for our desi Superhero,” a tweet read on the official Twitter page of Sony Pictures India.
