Mukesh Khanna Says Shaktimaan Film Will Be Made On Big Budget Of ₹200-300 Crore: ‘Contract Has Been Signed’

Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna shared details about the upcoming film based on his Shaktimaan avatar. He played the Indian superhero for several years on television. It has been a while since the film’s announcement was made, and now Mukesh has answered a question on why there has been a delay in the film.

Shaktimaan trilogy

Sony Pictures announced the project last year. It is going to be a trilogy that will bring back the iconic superhero. Reportedly, actor Ranveer Singh has been roped in for the titular role in the Basil Joseph directorial. However, no official confirmation has been made by the makers.

Mukesh Khanna shares an update on the Shaktimaan film

Amid this, Mukesh Khanna shared on his YouTube channel, Bheeshm, that the film is going to be made on an international level. He said, “The contract has been signed. Ye bohot bade level ki film hai. One film would cost 200–300 crore, and it would be made by Sony Pictures, the one that made Spider-Man. But it kept getting delayed. First, there was the COVID-19 pandemic, and I had announced on my channel too that the film was happening.

Sony Pictures shared the teaser last year

Sony Pictures dropped an announcement teaser last year and said in a statement that they had acquired the film adaptation rights to Shaktimaan to reimagine it as a superhero trilogy for the big screen. Mukesh Khanna said he is not allowed to reveal who has been signed on to headline the film but said he has been asked not to appear as Shaktimaan anymore to avoid “comparisons”.
