Ever since a movie on Shaktimaan has been announced, people are eagerly awaiting who will bring the iconic character live on screen.
However, there has been a major update, and contrary to what was broadcast online, Ranveer Singh will not be seen in the role of Shaktimaan! In a no-nonsense post on social media, Mukesh Khanna [who both produced and starred as Shaktimaan] took everyone to the cleaners.
Mukesh mentioned, “To play Shaktimaan is no child’s play. He should be dedicated, pure, and close to the Sarv Shaktimaan, i.e. God. No random guy can come up and say he is Shaktimaan”. He even took jibes at Ranveer Singh and his eccentric fashion sense, saying he can be anything but Shaktimaan.
A few years ago, Sony Pictures International announced that they would be bringing the iconic superhero ‘Shaktimaan’ to the silver screen. Interestingly, they also convinced Mukesh Khanna to join on board as the advisor since he was instrumental in establishing the legacy of this iconic Indian superhero.
You must have also heard that Basil Joseph [who directed ‘Minnal Murali’] had recently been roped in as the director. The casting of this film wasn’t announced, but rumors floated that Ranveer Singh would be cast as Shaktimaan.
