Bollywood created a musical rendition of the cheesy cartoon show complete with junior artistes in florescent skeleton clothes and a Skeletor idol with flashing eyes. He Man is played by a random white dude, yelling “He Man, He Man, I’m He Man”.

The movie is a generic 80s action movie. In case you were wondering, the music is by, who else, Bappi Lahiri. Which brings us to the next important question: what would a Yash Raj-Karan Johar He Man look like and would the sleazy item number be replaced by a cheesy shaadi song?

In the meanwhile have fun with this sleazy 80s music video and so-bad-its-somewhat-catchy tune by Bappi Lahiri. [Credit where it's due]
