Mukesh Khanna breaks silence on Ranveer Singh's 'Shaktimaan' casting rumors

Mukesh Khanna, famous for playing Shaktimaan, India's first superhero, rejected rumors about Ranveer Singh portraying the character in a movie.

Taking to his Instagram account, Mukesh shared a post featuring a combined picture of himself and Ranveer Singh, wherein he criticized the 38-year-old actor for a recent explicit photoshoot. 

This disappointed fans who were eagerly anticipating his return as Shaktimaan.

He penned, "There are rumours on social media that Ranveer Singh would portray Shaktimaan. And everyone was angry about it. I remained silent. But when channels started announcing that Ranveer has been signed, then I had to speak up."

"And I have said it that no matter how big a star he is, a person with such kind of image can never become Shaktimaan. I have put my foot down. Now let's see what happens next," Mukesh added.

Mukesh also uploaded a video on his YouTube channel where he criticized Ranveer and condemned the actor, saying that such actions go against Indian culture.

He said, “If he feels comfortable with nudity then he should go to countries where he can do nude scenes any every third scene.”
