Ranveer Singh Issues Statement On Producing Mukesh Khanna’s Shaktimaan OTT Series Rumours
Denying the news, his team shares, “The news about Ranveer Singh acquiring rights of developing a new superhero (Shaktimaan) project as the producer holds no truth. He is currently busy shooting for Aditya Dhar’s next and then, Don 3 is also on the cards for him.”
According to Filmfare’s report revealed that Ranveer is potentially developing an OTT series centred on Shaktimaan. An insider shared, “Ranveer has taken the rights of developing Shaktimaan. He’s on board as a partner and mostly, the makers are aiming at creating a series. Whether Ranveer will play the title character or not is a question we’ll have to ask in the near future.”
The source was unable to confirm or deny Mukesh Khanna’s involvement in this project. Nevertheless, there is hope that Ranveer and Mukesh Khanna might reconcile and deliver the adaptation or reboot that fans have eagerly awaited.
About Shaktimaan
The original Shaktimaan TV series aired from 1997 to 2005. It cultivated a devoted following, resonating with audiences of all ages, including young adults who grew up watching the Indian superhero. While films like Krrish and Minnal Murali brought superheroes to the big screen, none have matched the cultural impact of Shaktimaan in its TV format.
This new OTT series presents an excellent opportunity to revisit or expand the legacy of such an iconic character. Ranveer has portrayed larger-than-life roles in films and is seen as the perfect actor to bring a fun, adventurous superhero to the screen. It could also serve as his debut in the OTT space. He is currently busy shooting for Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar.
