After “Dhurandhar” and “Dhurandhar: The Revenge” struck gold at the box office, fans are wondering what’s next. Ranveer Singh. The actor made waves with the news of ‘Shaktimaan’ reboot, though Mukesh KhannaThe legendary star of the 90s, has thrown the casting opportunity in public.
Mukesh Khanna to Ranveer Singh for “Shaktimaan”.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, when asked if “Dhurandhar” changed his perspective on Ranveer, after heaping praise on Aditya Dhar’s film, Mukesh clarified, “Mujhe manane mein lage hue hain sab, ki Dhurandhar chal gayi, ab toh Ranveer Singh bohot bada actor ban gaya. I want a picture for ‘Shaktimaan’ that wasn’t with Ranveer, that’s why I took the opposite stand. I am not against his performance. Wow Alauddin Khilji kar sakta hai, ‘Gully Boy’ kar chuka hai, woh ‘Dhurandhar’ kar gaya bohot achha, maine taareef bhi ki. But for me, to be Shaktimaan one does not need to be an actor, one also needs a face. The face should suit the Shaktimaan. Mera objection sirf yahi hai ki uski aankhon mein Shaktimaan dikhna chahiye, woh khada ho toh woh scheming nahi dikhna chahiye. I can tab Ranveer in Kilvish (evil), not Shaktimaan. Negativity hai face par, positivity nahi hai uske face par.” (I am trying to convince everyone now that Dhurandhar has become a great actor, Ranveer Singh has become a great actor. I don’t want a great actor for Shaktimaan, I don’t want a star for Shaktimaan. I want an image I had for Shaktimaan that was not with Ranveer, so take the opposite stand. Guillly I can’t do it, I objected to his performance. Dhurandhar did very well, even though I praised him. But for me, to become Shaktimaan, he doesn’t need a face.
He criticizes Mukesh Khanna Ranbir Kapoor In ‘Ramayana’
Apart from opposing Ranveer’s ‘Shaktimaan’ co-star, Mukesh has made no secret of Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Lord Rama in Nitesh Tiwari’s ‘Ramayana: Part 1’. Talking about the teaser, Mukesh said, “Teaser se baat nahi banti. Teaser kabhi kabhi misleading hota hai. Humesha hum best foot forward karte hain. When a boy and a girl meet, they put their best foot forward.” Too poor a movie. Adipurush movie ivory thi. I can’t form my opinion in a teaser”. (Teasers don’t make things happen. Teasers are sometimes misleading. We always put our best foot forward. When a boy and a girl meet, they put their best foot forward. But the reality comes out after marriage. The whole movie will speak. Adipurush movie spoke. I can’t give my opinion on a teaser.)
