It is about a man who discovers his own self in a very humourous way,&rdquo; says Saurabh. Varma has been working on the project for the last two years and the film is slated to go on floors by the end of this year. &ldquo;This would be India&rsquo;s first superhero comedy. For a majority of Indians, Shaktimaan still personifies the desi superhero,&rdquo; sums up the debutant director. u00a0
