Shaktiman Famous Serial Casting: Every person definitely has a hero of his childhood. But what good are children to heroes? His work is done by superheroes. Stars like Iron Man, Spider Man, Wonder Woman and Batman have always been in the news. But all these superheroes are foreigners. There was also a superhero from India. The only superhero. Shaktiman. Kids of 90s are well aware of this name. That was a time when people used to come and sit in front of the TV screen hours in advance, waiting for the Shaktimaan serial. Shaktiman was a brand. Now an attempt is being made to capitalize on the same brand.
There is news that a film on Shaktimaan is coming. During this time, the biggest question is who will become Shaktimaan. A concrete answer to this question has not been found yet. But let us leave this question aside and go on a journey to that golden era of the 90s. And let’s meet the second lead character of this serial, Gangadhar ji.
Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkar Nath Shastri. Remember this name. This was a name which you might have heard many times in your childhood. This character was a part of Shaktimaan. During that time one thing was said in praise of this character. That thing was – only Gangadhar is powerful. And when asked to introduce himself, Gangadhar used to say this again and again. But this was a character of the serial who was present in every episode but was never seen in front of Shaktimaan. This character used to come after Shaktimaan’s departure. Because the reality was that only Gangadhar was powerful.
made me laugh a lot with comedy
There have been many characters who have won everyone’s hearts with their comedy. Be it films or TV, such entertaining characters have been coming one after the other. Mukesh Khanna himself took this responsibility on his shoulders in Shaktimaan. But with a different character. Unique glasses with a rope over his eyes, hair disheveled, teeth sticking out, a bag in his hand and a surprised smile on his face. Gangadhar’s character looked something like this.
Just like Shaktimaan had a different world, Gangadhar also had a different world. On one hand, Shaktiman used to solve people’s problems, while on the other hand, Gangadhar was always lost in his own questions. Whatever it may be, there was something different about this cool character. Also amazing was the acting of Mukesh Khanna who played these two different characters at the same time.
Gangadhar got lost somewhere in the glare of Shaktiman.
But when this serial ended, its popularity gradually started decreasing. More such superheroes came. Aryaman, Hatim or Junior ji. But even after this, no one else could attain the status that Shaktiman had. Until Hrithik Roshan’s film Krrish came out, there was only one superhero in India, Shaktimaan. But as the children of the 90s grew up and stood on their own feet, the Shaktimaan serial became a thing of the past. In such a situation, with the passage of time, Shaktimaan remained alive in the minds of people, but Gangadhar, who made everyone laugh every Sunday for 450 episodes, got lost somewhere.

Is Gangadhar also returning along with Shaktimaan?
Now that the film on Shaktimaan is coming. There is discussion on development and casting, in such a situation a question arises in my mind. That is whether if a film is made on Shaktimaan, will a character like Gangadhar be re-imagined. Will the one who plays Shaktimaan on screen be able to bring humor like Gangadhar? For now this is a question. But it remains to be seen whether Gangadhar will also get a new life on the occasion of Shaktimaan’s rebirth, or will this character remain in history forever.
