Is Allu Arjun Replacing Ranveer Singh In Shaktimaan? Here's What Director Basil Joseph Said

Ranveer Singh is confirmed to play Shaktimaan in the reboot film. Director Basil Joseph denies rumours of Allu Arjun replacing him, calling them unfounded. A fresh wave of speculation recently hit the internet, suggesting that Allu Arjun might step into the iconic role of Shaktimaan in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the beloved 90s superhero series. The rumour triggered excitement among fans, especially after actor Mukesh Khanna — who originally portrayed the superhero — praised Allu Arjun's charisma and screen presence. However, the makers have now clarified that no such casting change is on the cards. The Shaktimaan film, currently in development, is being written and directed by Minnal Murali filmmaker Basil Joseph, who has had Ranveer Singh in mind for the titular role from the very beginning. While rumours often surface around major projects like this, a source close to the production has dismissed the latest buzz. 'No one else is doing Shaktimaan. It is Ranveer Singh and no one else. Whoever is spreading rumours of his replacement clearly has their own agenda," the source told Bollywood Hungama, firmly putting the speculation to rest. To confirm the development, Bollywood Hungama reached out to director Basil Joseph, who stated unequivocally, 'Shaktimaan will be made only with Ranveer Singh." The rumour likely gained traction due to a statement made last year by Mukesh Khanna on his YouTube channel. Without officially endorsing anyone, Khanna had mused on Allu Arjun's potential in the superhero role. 'Main commit nahi kar raha hun, bol bhi nahi raha hun, judge bhi nahi kar raha hun lekin Shaktimaan ban sakta hai ye. Real life mein bhi acchi look hai acchi height hai… Inke baare mein kaha jaa sakta hai, socha jaa sakta hai ki inko lo," he had said. Khanna also took a moment to praise Allu Arjun's performance and the production values of Pushpa 2. 'Film sirf paisa phenkne se nahi banti… every frame speaks they have done a good job. When you have conviction in yourself, you convince the audience."
