 "Mukesh Khanna angry with Ranveer Singh playing Shaktimaan, says 'Work in films where you'll get to do a nude scene'")
Ranveer Singh made a solid comeback after three debacles with Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which collected over Rs 150 crore at the box office. While the actor will be next seen in Don 3, he has locked his shooting schedule for the next two years.
Post wrapping up the high-octane action-thriller, Ranveer will shift to Shaktimaan. “Right after Don 3, it’s time for Shaktimaan. The film has been in the writing stage for over 3 years now and the team has finally cracked a script that’s 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 the producers,” a source was quoted saying.
Mukesh Khanna reacts
The OG Superhero has had a rather scathing reaction on Singh stepping into his shoes. He shared a video on Instagram and said, “Since a few months social media has been flooded with the news of Ranveer playing Shaktimaan. Everyone was upset about it, but I kept quiet, however, when channels also announced that Ranveer was signed for the film, I had to open my mouth. I have said that an actor who carries such an image, no matter how big he is, cannot play Shaktimaan. I have put my foot down, now see what happens further.”
He even shared a video on his YouTube page and exploded on the Simmba actor by stating, “Work in films where you will get to do a nude scene in every third scene. I have told the producers, that your 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 should have the quality that when he speaks, people will listen. There are big actors, but their image comes in the middle.”
