When Veteran TV and Bollywood actor Mukesh Khanna disapproved of Ranveer Singh’s casting as Shaktimaan in the feature film version, his remark received mixed reactions from the audience. However, Khanna has now revealed that he made it clear to Ranveer that he doesn’t possess the qualities to portray Shaktimaan. “Now people know that Ranveer Singh came to convince me for allowing him to reprise the role of Shaktiman.
I can’t hide it also because later people said that I lauded Ranveer and called him a terrific actor. News of Ranveer being confirmed to play Shaktiman started coming but I hadn’t agreed to it. I also have a conflict with Sony and I had put up a video clarifying that I haven’t approved Ranveer to play the role and the reason is that.
..Ranveer sat in front of me that day for 3 hours but ultimately I had to tell him that what needs to be seen on his face wasn’t there.
He looks playful, like someone who would trick others,” said Khanna to Bollywood Thikana. Khanna also revealed that his aversion began after the nude photoshoot of Ranveer Singh . “That photoshoot was the start of my aversion towards him.
However, Ranveer told me he didn’t actually do it. He said he was wearing underwear and had fired his promotional team. I believed him, but later, when I looked back, I remembered his statement to the media, where he said he was comfortable with it.
I recall giving a statement, ‘You may be comfortable, but we aren’t,’” said the Mahabharat .
