Ranveer Singh as Shaktimaan? Mukesh Khanna Still Says No

Ranveer Singh Shaktimaan debate is back debate is back — and Mukesh Khanna is still holding his ground. Even after praising Ranveer Singh’s performance in Dhurandhar, Khanna says one thing clearly: Ranveer Singh is a great actor, but not Shaktimaan.

“I Don’t Want a Star, I Want Shaktimaan”

With Dhurandhar getting appreciation, many assumed opinions might change. But Mukesh Khanna isn’t convinced. He has made it clear that his issue is not with Ranveer’s acting ability.

In fact, he appreciated his performance. But for Shaktimaan, he believes something more is required. According to him, Shaktimaan is not just a role — it’s an image. And that image, he feels, doesn’t match Ranveer.

“I don’t want a very big actor. I want an image,” he said.

“Negativity Hai Face Par”

Mukesh Khanna’s biggest concern is the personality and aura needed for Shaktimaan. He believes that when someone plays Shaktimaan, their face should reflect calmness, positivity, and strength.

In his words, Ranveer carries a different kind of energy — more intense, more layered — which doesn’t fit the clean, positive image of the superhero. He even said that while Ranveer can perform powerful roles, “Shaktimaan needs positivity on the face, not negativity.”

More Than Acting, It’s About Identity

For Mukesh Khanna, Shaktimaan is not just another character. It’s a symbol many people grew up with — representing truth, discipline, and goodness. And because of that, casting becomes more than just choosing a good actor. It becomes about choosing the right face.

The Debate Isn’t Ending Anytime Soon

As talks around the Shaktimaan project continue, this casting debate is only getting stronger. Fans are divided. Some support Ranveer Singh’s versatility, while others agree with Mukesh Khanna’s vision of keeping the character pure. But one thing is clear — Mukesh Khanna isn’t ready to change his stance.

The Big Question

Can a modern superstar redefine Shaktimaan? Or should the character remain untouched by star power? Right now, the answer depends on one thing — what Shaktimaan truly stands for.
