Mukesh Khanna has been in the news lately after wearing his iconic Shaktimaan costume. Earlier, there were reports that Shaktimaan was being made into a movie. Rumors about Ranveer Singh being cast in the role of the Indian superhero made the rounds online. Later, there were speculation about Tiger Shroff taking on the part.
Lately, there has also been buzz about Kartik Aryan playing the role. Mukesh Khanna, however, has been dismissive of the idea of Ranveer Singh or Tiger Shroff being cast in the role. When the veteran actor put on his iconic superhero suit again, he gave rise to speculation that he would be the one to return as the character.
Mukesh Khanna Clarifies That He Wore The Costume For A Patriotic Song
In a video uploaded on the Bheeshm International YouTube channel, Mukesh Khanna launched a scathing attack on trolls who age-shamed him for wearing the suit. He also clarified that he wore the song because of his patriotic song. The actor said he intended to send a message to children and believed we could connect better with the costume.

He said, “Sabne Kaha ki ‘Arey sahab ye to khud hi Shaktiman ban raha hai. Aisa nahi hai. (Everyone said he is playing Shaktiman again, that’s not true.)” “Maine yeh kab kaha ki main wapis aa raha hoon. Ya main hi Shaktimaan banuga. Main toh hoon hi Shaktimaan, par maine yeh desh bhakti wale geet ke liye costume dobara pehna. ( When did I say I’ll come back or play Shaktimaan again? I am already Shktimaan. I wore it for patriotic songs).”
