Mukesh Khanna Opens Up On Why Superhero Movie 'Shaktimaan' Production Getting Delayed
Mumbai, June 7 - In February last year, Sony Pictures India in association with Mukesh Khanna's Bheeshm International, and Brewing Thoughts Private Limited announced the cinematic adaptation of the popular Indian superhero show Shaktimaan.



Sony Pictures announced the movie as a planned trilogy, but there hasn't been much development happened since the announcement. During this, the rumors have been making rounds that Ranveer Singh was approached to play the iconic role but there was no confirmation about the same after that.



Mukesh Khanna, who played the titular role in the "Shaktimaan" tv series, has now opened up on why the production of the movie is getting delayed and when it will start rolling. Khanna confirmed that the contract between him and Sony Pictures has already been signed and plans are being made to start the production soon.



"This is a big-scale project and each film in the trilogy would cost at least 200-300 crores in the making. This is not a small film, it is a massive film, and that takes time. A lot of things are happening, but I am not allowed to talk", Khanna said in a video on his YouTube Channel Bhishma International.



The actor-producer also revealed that he cannot make any appearance in Shaktimaan's get-up now as the makers of the movie don't want any comparison. Khanna, however, refused to reveal the actor who will play the role of "Shaktimaan" but promised that the cast will be revealed soon.



It has been also reported that Malayalam filmmaker Basil Joseph has been approached to direct the film with Ranveer Singh being the front-runner to headline it. All these will be confirmed when the makers will make the official announcement.

Malvi Malhotra: You can never guess the climax of Jenma Natchathiram

Chennai, July 19 - All it took was Oru Nodi for Malvi Malhotra to say yes to Jenma Natchathiram. Quite literally. She saw the 2023 Taman Aakshan-starrer and was impressed, and it was on the same day she signed Jenma Natchathiram, headlined by him. ## Having debuted in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Punjabi projects, the horror-thriller marks Malvi's Tamil debut. "I couldn't have asked for a better role as I am there throughout the film's runtime. The story unfolds through my eyes. I play Riya, a sweet and simple girl who has ghosts scaring her in her dreams. Whether her dreams become a haunting reality or not forms the crux of the film. ## Elaborating on the film and its script, Malvi underlines, "You can never guess the film's climax. That's how intricate and layered the script is. It is gripping, and every character has an important role in it. I have not worked on this genre before. ##

Who is that Queen #sidharthshukla? #sidhearts." And Sidharth, as usual, gave credit to his mom as he wrote, "I would have never replied to that ... but cause I did for your previous one .. one more for you ..... QUEEN is the one who raised ME".## I would have never replied to that ... but cause I did for your previous one .. one more for you .....
