Actor Mukesh Khanna had excited his fans long ago by announcing the ‘Shaktimaan’ film. There was tremendous craze among children in the 90s regarding this superhero character, and as soon as the film version came up.
Shaktimaan Movie: There has been tremendous enthusiasm among fans for years regarding India's first television superhero 'Shaktimaan'. This show, broadcast on Doordarshan in the 90s, inspired a generation. When actor Mukesh Khanna announced bringing this cult show to the film format, fans were extremely happy.
But now it seems that some obstacles have come up regarding this ambitious project. Recently, Mukesh Khanna has given a statement in an interview that may break the hearts of Shaktimaan fans.
What did Mukesh Khanna say about the Shaktimaan film?
Mukesh Khanna, while talking to news agency IANS, gave the latest update on the Shaktimaan film. He said, "Our film is in full preparation and we are committed to bringing it to the big screen. But there is an obstacle in front of it." When he was asked what type of obstacle this is—whether it is related to the script, funding, or casting—he refused to comment on it. He said that he cannot say anything more about it at this time.
After this statement, various speculations are being made about the Shaktimaan movie on social media. It is believed that the progress of this project has stalled or has been postponed indefinitely.
Shaktimaan Film: Will be released directly in theaters, not on OTT
Mukesh Khanna has previously clarified that the Shaktimaan film will not be released on any TV channel or OTT platform, but in cinema halls. He had also said that this will be a mega-budget film, which can change the direction of Indian superhero films. However, so far neither the release date of the film has been announced nor has any official teaser or poster been released. This also raises questions on the progress of the film.
Who will play the main role in the Shaktimaan film, this question has remained a topic of discussion among the fans. Some time ago, reports surfaced that Ranveer Singh has been chosen for the lead role in the film. Mukesh Khanna himself had also confirmed that Ranveer had shown interest in this project. However, later he also said that no final deal has been made with any Bollywood star. Actor Vidyut Jammwal's name also surfaced in this race, but Mukesh Khanna has remained silent about the casting for the time being.
The announcement of the film had raised expectations
When the Shaktimaan film was announced, a teaser was also released regarding it, which received a tremendous response on YouTube and social media. In this teaser, Shaktimaan's iconic costume and the thread revolving on the globe were seen again, which filled the audience with nostalgia.
Even though the progress of the film seems slow at the moment, Shaktimaan's fans are still excited about this project. People are constantly demanding updates on social media and are appealing to Mukesh Khanna to share some positive news as soon as possible.
