Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna has once again sparked discussions online by expressing his desire to see Allu Arjun take on the iconic role of ‘Shaktimaan’.
In a recent video, Khanna made his thoughts public as he said, “I am not committing to anything, but I think Arjun can be Shaktimaan. He has good looks and height, but they (Pushpa makers) have turned him into a villain. He would suit the role of Shaktimaan.”

Khanna went on to shower praises on Allu Arjun’s latest film ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, saying that every frame of the film was an absolute masterpiece.
Although he praised the film, he also criticised it for promoting Sandalwood smuggling, saying that box office success shouldn’t come at the cost of ‘questionable moral messages’.
