Famous actor Mukesh Khanna, who plays the character of Shaktimaan, has expressed his objection to Ranveer Singh becoming Shaktimaan. Shaktimaan is called India's first superhero. If reports are to be believed, Ranveer Singh was going to play the character of Shaktimaan. On this Mukesh Khanna said, 'Despite Ranveer Singh's star power, he can never become Shakti. He called Ranveer's nude photoshoot for the character of Shaktimaan childish and wrong.
Mukesh Khanna said that 'Shaktiman is no match with Hollywood superheroes. This competition is of the old Shaktimaan, which we have shown for so many years. It is not just about superheroes, Shaktimaan is a guru, who also gives good education to children. He says that only an actor can be strong, who can set an example of goodness. He said, 'The film will not run on actors but on the story line.' Mukesh further said, 'If Shaktimaan becomes powerful, then he will have to be powerful, because he will come as almighty. He is the strongest in the universe. He has everything. Last month, reports claimed that the shooting of Shaktimaan will begin in May 2025, starring Ranveer in the lead role and director Basil Joseph will direct it.
