Pocket FM Sparked the Shaktimaan Comeback. Tata Play Is Now Riding the Momentum

It all began when Pocket FM dropped the bombshell announcement of its audio series Shaktimaan Returns. What followed was nothing short of a digital tremor. The moment Mukesh Khanna’s iconic voice re-emerged—richer, sharper, and powered by next-gen sound design, listeners were locked in within minutes and nostalgia swept across timelines. Fans jumped in immediately, creators amplified the moment, and the buzz across social media surged. The momentum escalated quickly, proving once again that when legacy IP is reimagined with intent, it can reignite an entire Indian Entertainment ecosystem.

Sensing the cultural tailwind, Tata Play doubled down on the upswing. In a strategic, fan-first move, the platform has silently released the original Shaktimaan TV series would now be available for streaming, reintroducing India’s 90s superhero mythos to a fresh generation. And they didn’t stop there. With Tata Play Binge adding the classic show to its catalogue, fans suddenly had seamless access to Shaktimaan on one end—and the refreshed, reimagined audio series on Pocket FM on the other. A legacy revived in two formats, meeting audiences exactly where modern consumption thrives.

What Pocket FM started with Shaktimaan Returns has effectively unlocked a wider revival across platforms. With re-releases, rising audience interest, and a renewed appetite for homegrown superhero nostalgia, it’s clear: the Shaktimaan era isn’t just back. It’s bigger, broader, and built for today’s multi-format universe.
