Speaking to Bollywood Thikana, Mukesh said in Hindi, “I don’t take names because I shouldn’t criticize an actor. People get angry. But now everyone knows that Ranveer Singh came to convince me. I don’t like it. Can’t hide.” I called him a ‘brilliant actor’ and praised his ‘energy’. People started posting pictures on social media as if Ranveer had been finalized for the role of Shaktimaan, because I had not taken any decision on it Soni, I posted a video where I said, I have cast the lead actor. Nothing has been said about so please wait for some time.

“That poor guy (Ranveer Singh) sat in front of me for three hours. But his face didn’t reflect what it takes to play Shaktimaan. He looked playful as if he was about to betray someone. But he That’s great.” When I praised him, I said that no one else in the film industry has energy like him. But I have not approved him for this role. However, in the industry it is the producers who choose the actors, not the other way around. That photoshoot (a nude shoot with Dirty magazine) was one of the big reasons that made me hate her, when I saw that photoshoot, I said, what are you doing buddy (What are you doing), ”Mukesh Khanna concluded.

Talking about the work front, Ranveer Singh was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s film Circus. He has the director’s Singham Again in the pipeline, which also stars Deepika Padukone, Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in important roles.
