Mukesh Khanna announced a film based on Shaktimaan around three years ago. The teaser created a lot of excitement among the audience but unfortunately, there have been no updates related to the casting and other details.
Meanwhile, a new rumour has been making rounds on the internet, claiming that Kartik Aaryan is being considered to portray the iconic superhero of India.

The report comes at a time when Mukesh himself has avoided casting any popular faces for the film. Sources have claimed that Kartik is evaluating the offer and this has now led to a mixed response on social media.
Netizens have claimed that this project might not be a good choice for Kartik considering that the producers have not revealed much about the film. People pointed out that if a film is being made, it has to be created in such a way that it can appeal to the audience of today’s world.

Social media users additionally stated that if the makers are planning to use the same old formula as they did many years ago, this can be a career suicide for Kartik.
Mukesh has slowly begun sharing teases of the film on different platforms. However, he is facing criticism from the public for not letting a new-generation actor play the role. The film’s box office potential cannot be determined until everyone gets to know about the cast.

As many people have claimed, Shaktimaan has become too outdated now. Just because there is a huge section of the public who has watched the show in the past, it does not mean that it can contribute to the film’s success.
It remains to be seen if Mukesh will cast a new face or if he will play the lead in the upcoming film.
