Mukesh Khanna Slams Ranveer Singh Who Rumors To Play Shaktiman Role, Says, ‘His image is Not Apt…’
Rumors surrounding Ranveer Singh's potential casting have been circulating, but Mukesh Khanna, the original Shaktimaan, remains unconvinced.
The iconic Indian superhero, Shaktimaan, has been a topic of discussion for a big-screen adaptation. Rumors surrounding Ranveer Singh’s potential casting have been circulating, but Mukesh Khanna, the original Shaktimaan, remains unconvinced.
Mukesh Khanna’s Reservations
In a recent interview with Bollywood Thikana, Mukesh shared his thoughts on Ranveer Singh’s eagerness to play the role. Despite the actor’s persistent efforts, Mukesh is unwilling to give his nod. “Ranveer sat with me for three hours, but his face doesn’t reflect the qualities needed to play Shaktimaan,” Mukesh stated.
A Question of Authenticity
Mukesh’s concerns stem from Ranveer’s perceived inability to embody Shaktimaan’s character. “He looks like he’d con someone,” Mukesh jokingly remarked, acknowledging Ranveer’s acting prowess. This sentiment echoes Mukesh’s previous statements, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in portraying the beloved superhero.
The Big-Screen Adaptation
Last year, Mukesh revealed on his YouTube channel, Bheeshm, that a Shaktimaan movie was in the works. With a reported budget of 200-300 crores and Sony Pictures on board, expectations are high. Although Mukesh didn’t disclose the lead actor’s identity, he hinted at a big-name star.
Mukesh’s Conditions
For Mukesh to consider approving the project, the filmmakers must meet his creative standards. He wants to ensure the movie stays true to the original character and story, rather than compromising for commercial gain.
Ranveer’s Enthusiasm
Despite Mukesh’s reservations, Ranveer Singh’s passion for the project is evident. His willingness to spend hours discussing the role demonstrates his commitment. However, Mukesh’s approval remains crucial for the project’s legitimacy.
The Shaktimaan Legacy
As the original Shaktimaan, Mukesh Khanna’s input carries significant weight. Fans of the iconic series eagerly await an adaptation that honors the character’s spirit. With Mukesh’s standards high, only time will tell if Ranveer Singh or another actor will don the Shaktimaan cape.
The Verdict Awaits
As the Shaktimaan movie remains in development, Mukesh Khanna’s stance serves as a reminder of the importance of creative integrity. Will Ranveer Singh’s persistence pay off, or will another actor bring this iconic character to life? The answer remains to be seen.
