Allu Arjun Rumors Debunked: Ranveer Singh Remains Shaktimaan
Clarifying the Shaktimaan Casting Rumors
The enthusiastic marketing teams of various celebrities often create misleading narratives to benefit their clients. Recently, fans of Allu Arjun were stirred by speculation that he might take over the role of Shaktimaan from Ranveer Singh in the upcoming film adaptation of the iconic Doordarshan series that aired from 1997 to 2005.
Mukesh Khanna originally portrayed the titular character in the series. The film, which is being developed by actor Basil Joseph, was initially intended to feature Ranveer Singh in the lead role.
Despite ongoing rumors about alternative casting, the latest buzz suggests that Allu Arjun has been considered for the role of Shaktimaan.
However, a reliable source close to the project has dismissed these replacement claims, stating, 'No one else is involved in Shaktimaan. It is Ranveer Singh, and that’s final. Those spreading rumors about a replacement have their own motives.'
I reached out to Basil Joseph, who confirmed that the film will indeed star Ranveer Singh exclusively.
