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’.
With nothing being confirmed yet, people are speculating that this might just be Mukesh Khanna’s wish. Allu Arjun’s tight schedule for the next 2-3 years may lead to him not taking the role.
Social media is also talking about Ranveer Singh being interested in the role. But Mukesh Khanna has come forward to outright reject him, expressing reservations about his capabilities.
Social media has gone crazy over the prospect of Allu Arjun playing Shaktimaan. One user said, “Allu Arjun as Shaktimaan? That would be epic!”
Another expressed his doubts by commenting, “He’s a great actor, but he’s already tied up with multiple commitments.”
With anything official still undecided, fans are eager to know who will carry the legacy of their childhood hero.
