Surendra Pal, who played Tamraj Kilvish in the original Shaktimaan series, has supported Ranveer Singh for the role in the upcoming film, calling him an “ideal” choice and urging co-actor Mukesh Khanna to widen his perspective. While acknowledging Khanna is “too stubborn” and protective of his “baby,” Pal praised Ranveer’s talent.
Surendra feels Ranveer could be ideal for the role and Mukesh ji should reconsider and broaden his thinking a little”. “He (Khanna) is the best judge; it is his creation… that is why he will not compromise. He is very stubborn”.
Pal highlighted that he has become a bigger fan of Ranveer after watching Dhurandhar. The debate highlights a clash amid Mukesh Khanna’s desire for a specific, “decent” image for the character and the industry’s push for a top star, entertainment coverage.
Mukesh Khanna has maintained that while Ranveer is a talented actor, he does not fit the specific, clean-cut persona required to play the superhero.
