Surendra Pal, who co-acted with Mukesh Khanna, says Ranveer Singh could be suited to the role of Shaktimaan, a character made popular in the 1990s by Khanna. In comments reported by Hindustan Times, Pal asks Khanna to rethink his views about casting Ranveer Singh. Pal characterizes Khanna as having reservations and says Ranveer Singh is “very stubborn,” implying this trait could work in the actor’s favour for the role. India Today similarly reports Pal’s view that Ranveer Singh is ideal for Shaktimaan. The reports frame the discussion as a casting suggestion from Pal rather than an official decision or announcement about a new Shaktimaan project. Overall, both outlets agree on Pal’s recommendation and his direct appeal to Mukesh Khanna to reconsider his stance, while providing limited details beyond his assessment of Ranveer Singh’s potential for the role.
