The prospect of a Shaktimaan movie has brought back waves of nostalgia for those who grew up watching the show in the 90s. The film’s announcement generated significant buzz. A key point of interest has been the casting of the lead character. While rumors suggested Ranveer Singh might play Shaktimaan, Mukesh Khanna, the original actor, has dispelled these speculations. In a recent interview, Khanna offered a detailed explanation of the decision. He disclosed that while he likes Singh and had a meeting with him, he believed Singh would be better suited to play the villainous Tamraj Kilvish. Furthermore, Khanna stated that he received warnings and advice from people who didn’t want Singh cast as Shaktimaan, expressing worries that Singh’s public image could negatively impact the character’s legacy and childhood memories.
