Mukesh Khanna REACTS on Ranveer Singh’s casting as Shaktimaan, says, ‘He works in films where…’

Mukesh Khanna, best known for playing the popular role of Shaktimaan, reacted to the news of Ranveer Singh being cast as Shaktimaan. He took to his Instagram account and shared a post about the same. His recent comment has sparked controversy. However, nothing official has been made so far.

He wrote, “Pura social media mahinon rumor se bhara pada tha ki Ranveer karega Shaktimaan. Aur har koi naaraz tha ise lekar. Chup raha main. Lekin channels jub ne bhi elaan karna shuru kar diya ki Ranveer sign ho gaya hai. To mujhe muhn kholana pada. Aur maine bol diya ki aisi image wala vyakti kitna bhi bada star kyon na ho Shaktimaan nahin ban sakta. I have put my foot down. Ab Aaga aage dekhiye hota hai kya ??’ she has also shared a video in which she talks at length about the rumour.

Take a look here:

In the video, he advises Ranveer to take up roles in other countries where nudity is prevalent. He said that there are countries like Finland, Spain and others where the actor can show off his body. The actor said, “Work in movies where you’ll be able to do a nude scene every three scenes.” “I have told the producers that their competition is not with Spider-Man, Batman, Captain Planet. Shaktimaan is not just a superhero, he has also become a super teacher. Now, the actor who takes on the role must have the quality that when he speaks, people listen to him. There are great actors, but his image is in the middle,” Khanna stated.

Last month, it was reported that Ranveer Singh would start shooting for Shaktimaan. “Right after Don 3, it’s time for Shaktimaan. The film has been in the writing stage for over 3 years and the team has finally come up with a script that is worthy of doing justice to the legacy of Shaktimaan. The film will be directed by Basil Joseph, with Sony Pictures India and Sajid Nadiadwala as producers,” the source mentioned.
