He added, “I have told the producers, that your competition is not with Spider-Man, Batman, Captain Planet. Shaktimaan is not just a superhero, he has also become a super teacher. Now, the actor who takes on the role should have the quality that when he speaks, people will listen. There are big actors, but their image comes in the middle.”
It was previously announced in February that Ranveer Singh would begin filming for ‘Shaktimaan’ shortly. According to reports, the film was in the scripting stages for more than three years. According to reports, Basil Joseph will direct it.
