After much speculation, the confirmation has arrived – Ranveer Singh is set to don the iconic red and blue costume as India’s beloved superhero, Shaktiman. Sony Pictures India, in collaboration with Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, is gearing up for an ambitious three-part film adaptation, with Ranveer taking on the mantle of the titular superhero and his alter ego, Pandit Gangadhar.
This casting revelation marks a significant moment in Ranveer Singh’s already illustrious career, as he steps into the legendary shoes of Mukesh Khanna, the original Shaktiman who captured the hearts of millions during the TV show’s monumental 450-episode run on DD National from 1997 to 2005. Ranveer’s portrayal of both the superhero and the unassuming photographer Pandit Gangadhar is expected to bring a fresh perspective to this iconic character.

The addition of Shaktiman adds another layer to his repertoire, showcasing his ability to tackle diverse roles across genres.
As fans eagerly anticipate Ranveer Singh’s take on the legendary superhero, the announcement of this trilogy has created a buzz in the entertainment industry. The collaboration between Sony Pictures India and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment promises a visually stunning and compelling cinematic experience, bringing Shaktiman’s superheroic adventures to the big screen in an entirely new light.
