Mukesh Khanna Recently Questioned Tiger Shroff’s Ability To Portray Shaktimaan

By
RUBY ZAIDI

Mahabharata and Yalgaar fame veteran actor MUKESH KHANNA criticized Tiger Shroff’s ability to play Shaktimaan, suggesting he lacks the necessary gravitas and stature for the role.

Mukesh Khanna emphasized that Shaktimaan’s power stems from wisdom and seriousness, not just physical strength, and felt that Tiger Shroff’s current image doesn’t align with these qualities.

Mukesh Khanna highlighted that Shaktimaan is a sophisticated and evolved character, not merely a physical fighter. He stressed that Shaktimaan possesses wisdom and seriousness, making him more than just a brawler. This underscores the need for an actor who can convey these attributes.

Mukesh Khanna’s television series Shaktimaan on Door Darshan was a mix of ethics and fantasy, education and entertainment and ancient wisdom and modern technology. It was also one of the most popular superhero shows of the 1990s.

Mahabharata and Yalgaar fame actor Mukesh Khanna, who played the title role, became a household name and made a special place in the audience’s hearts.

Mukesh Khanna was also the show’s producer.

The show had a brilliant storyline and presentation.

The show was so popular that children would skip school on Saturdays to watch it. The producers moved the show to Sundays to address this issue.

The show aired for nearly eight years and had a total of 450 episodes.
