‘You can play Tamraj Kilwis’
Mukesh Khanna
Mukesh Khanna, who became famous from house to house as Shaktimaan in India in the 1990s, is still saving the legacy of this Cult TV show with full devotion. In 2022, Sony Pictures announced that Shaktimaan was rewriting it as a film Triology. But the controversy over casting about this project is getting deeper. According to reports, studios want Ranveer Singh to play the main character of Shaktimaan, but Khanna has clearly stated that he does not consider him suitable for this role. Recently, Khanna while answering a fan’s question in a conversation with filmmology said, ‘You cannot change my mind. Ranveer Singh is a great actor, both of us spent three hours together, but I told him directly that he could not become Shaktimaan. He is perfect for the character of Kilwish, but a mature actor is required for Shaktimaan. ‘
The real life of the actor also matches: Mukesh Khanna
According to Khanna, Shaktimaan’s casting is not just dependent on acting, the image of the real life of the actor should also match the purity of this character. He said, ‘I think if an actor’s image is wrong, she can interfere with the character. Many people are worried about Ranveer that his intoxicated image can spoil childhood memories. Shaktimaan, which aired on Doordarshan from 1997 to 2005 and ended with 450 episodes, made a special place on Indian TV. Mukesh Khanna, who played Shaktimaan and his egoistic avatar Gangadhar, gave a new place to the superhero style in India with the show. The success of the show has made it a sacred heritage among the Indian audience, whose old memories still attract its fans.
Tiger Shroff has also approached
Please tell that Tiger Shroff also wanted to play Shaktimaan character. There was also a lot of discussion about his name. But Tiger’s name was also out of this project in a few days. Actually, the last authority of Shaktimaan character is with Mukesh Khanna. He himself has expressed his desire to play this character many times. But no other producer is showing them interest in casting them as Shaktimaan.
