Who is the New Actor of Shaktimaan?

So finally, some updates have come out regarding India's most-awaited film, i.e., Shaktimaan, out of which some updates are very exciting, but at the same time, there are many updates that may shock you.

Now the first and interesting update has come regarding the star cast of the film because, till now, the star cast of the Shaktimaan film was not revealed at all.

Everyone was speculating about who the new superhero man in the Shaktimaan movie was, but now it can be said that the star cast has been finalized, and we will see Ranveer Singh in the role of Shaktimaan.

Let me tell you, as soon as this news broke out, people started having very polarized opinions on social media, where some people said that Ranveer Singh is not the best choice for this role, whereas Ranveer Singh's fans are constantly defending him.

Basically everyone knows that in the way the character of Shaktimaan was written, there were two personalities: the first was that of superhero Shaktimaan, and the second was that of Gangadhar, in which a lot of comedy is involved.

Those who are criticizing Ranveer Singh say that he will not be able to do comedy at the level of Mukesh Khanna because, no doubt, the way Mukesh Khanna Ji played the character of Gangadhar made that character more iconic. 

And in such a situation, the public opinion is that in all the comedy movies of Ranveer Singh that have come till now, he over-acts a little.

Especially people gave reference to films like Befikre or Kill Dil and said that Ranveer Singh is completely unsuitable for the role of Shaktimaan.

If I talk about the die-hard fans of Ranveer Singh, then they are constantly defending him.

They say that Ranveer Singh has proved his acting again and again, whether it is in Ramleela, Bajirao Mastani, or Padmaavat. These were all those films in which Ranveer Singh played different roles, and the kind of conviction we saw in his acting made us feel that he could pull off any role.

Similarly, many people said that Ranveer Singh's comic timing in the Simba or Suryavanshi has also been very good, and that is why he will be very effective in the role of Gangadhar.

Well, let me tell you that this is not the first time that there is so much controversy going on regarding the casting of Ranveer Singh.

When Ranveer Singh was chosen for Don 3 by Farhan Akhtar, it caused a big debate. Some fans loved the idea, but others thought only big-time actors like Shahrukh Khan or Amitabh Bachchan should play Don because they made the character famous. Die-hard fans of Ranveer Singh were defending him, but others argue that only a legend could do justice to the role.

In fact, at one point, the wave of Stop Don 3 had increased so much that Farhan Akhtar himself had to come forward and clarify that he had not removed Shahrukh Khan from the Don franchise.

Shahrukh Khan himself has decided to leave the Don franchise, and due to this, Farhaan Akhtar was forced to cast a new actor, i.e., Ranveer Singh, in Don 3.

The drama isn't over yet. Mukesh Khanna, the actor who played Shaktimaan, is making headlines again. In an old interview, he talked about Shahrukh Khan and his smoking habit. Khanna said he didn't think Khan could play a superhero because he smokes in real life.

And for this reason, Mukesh Khanna believed that only an actor can play a superhero who is very inspirational in real life, so that the audience can get a lot of motivation.

Now there is controversy regarding this statement because many people say that if Shahrukh Khan is not suitable for the role of a superhero, then in this way even Ranveer Singh is not perfect for this superhero role.

The reason for this is that people are saying that Ranveer Singh had done a nude photo shoot some time ago, regarding which there was a lot of controversy.

Apart from this, Ranveer Singh has also recently released an ad with Johnny Sins in which he is promoting an adult product.

And that is why people are commenting that if Mukesh Khanna feels that Shahrukh Khan is not inspiring the audience, then Ranveer Singh is also not a correct motivator for the audience.

Anyway, amidst all this controversy, three more important updates have also come. Let's find out together.

Shaktimaan Movie Update

Basil Joseph is set to direct the upcoming Shaktimaan movie. In case you're not familiar with him, he's the same director behind the action-packed superhero comedy Minnal Murali. This has really raised the bar for expectations around the Shaktimaan film, as many believe Minnal Murali to be one of the finest superhero movies in Indian cinema.

If I talk about the producers of the film along with the next update, then one thing everyone knows from the beginning is that this film is being produced by Sony Pictures.

However, the latest buzz suggests that Sony Pictures will team up with Sajid Nadiadwala to co-produce the movie.

And this thing has also created polarized opinions regarding the film.

Basically, what has happened is that whatever pictures Sajid Nadiadwala has produced recently, the audience has not appreciated them much. As a result, people aren't expecting much from his production house.

Let me tell you that films like Bawaal or 83 have also come from the Sajid Nadiadwala production house, making it clear that the production house does not matter; the producer basically invests money only in the film.

But in reality, the quality or storytelling of the film depends to a great extent on the director of the film, and if seen from that logic, then Basal Joseph being associated with the upcoming Shaktimaan film is giving a lot of positive vibes about the film.

Now the last or most important update that has come out, which will make your day, is that you must have noticed that whenever any sequel or remake is made in today's time, a factor of nostalgia is definitely added to it.

This is basically done so that the emotion or feeling of the audience can be triggered, and they feel the same joy that they used to feel 15 to 20 years ago.

For this reason, it has been heard that Mukesh Khanna will also have a cameo in the upcoming Shaktimaan film.

Nothing has been clarified yet as to which role Mukesh Khanna will be seen in or how long his cameo is going to be.

If you check the star cast of the film on the internet, you can see very clearly that Mukesh Khanna's name is also included in the star cast of the upcoming Shaktimaan film.

Not only this, some people also felt that they didn't know when this film would be ready, and maybe there were still three to four years left for the film to be released.

So now confirmation has also come that the shooting of this film will start in the second half of 2024, and most probably the first part of this film will be released by 2026.
