Ranveer Singh’s name has been finalized for the upcoming film Shaktimaan. Finally, Mukesh Khanna has found a hero for his film ‘Shaktimaan’. Ranveer Singh will now portray Shaktimaan on the big screen.
It’s been reported that Ranveer Singh has blocked his dates for the next two years. He will now focus on ‘Don 3’ and ‘Shaktimaan’ during these two years. Discussions about the film ‘Shaktimaan’ have been ongoing for the past few years. Mukesh Khanna mentioned several times that he is making a film on Shaktimaan.
In 2022, Mukesh Khanna collaborated with Sony Pictures India for the ‘Shaktimaan’ film. A teaser was also released at that time, announcing Shaktimaan’s comeback. Since then, fans have been crazy about this film. However, it was not certain who would play the role of Shaktimaan. But now it has been confirmed.
Ranveer Singh will play the roles of both Shaktimaan and Pandit Gangadhar
Actor Ranveer Singh will now become Shaktimaan. Ranveer Singh will play the roles of both Shaktimaan and Pandit Gangadhar Vidhyadhar according to a report by Media.
Playing Shaktimaan will come with a significant responsibility for Ranveer Singh because Mukesh Khanna portrayed the roles of ‘Shaktimaan’ and ‘Pandit Gangadhar Vidhyadhar’ in the past. He portrayed the role of Shaktimaan, the country’s first superhero, in such a way that no other actor could easily step into his shoes.
Therefore, portraying both Shaktimaan and Gangadhar’s roles will be quite challenging for Ranveer Singh. The show ‘Shaktimaan’ was broadcast on Doordarshan in 1997 and ran until 2005. The show still has a strong fan following even after so many years.
Fans still Miss Mukesh Khanna as Shaktimaan. According to reports, Basil Joseph will direct the upcoming film on Shaktimaan. He previously directed the 2021 Malayalam superhero film ‘Minnal Murali’. For ‘Shaktimaan’, Basil Joseph will collaborate with writers Arun Anirudhan and Justin Mathew, along with Durgesh Singh from the web series ‘Gullak’.
It is being said that the script of ‘Shaktimaan’ will be completed by the end of 2024. After that, the pre-production of the film will begin. Shooting is expected to commence in 2025, and the film could potentially be released in 2026 on a festive occasion.
