Shaktimaan: THESE Bollywood stars can join Ranveer Singh as other iconic characters from the superhero show

It has been confirmed that Ranveer Singh will be stepping into the shoes of veteran actor Mukesh Khanna who had played the iconic Indian superhero Shaktimaan. The show aired on DD National between 1997 and 2005 and turned out to be a huge hit which is still adored by all the 90s kids. While Ranveer is all set to make us relive this iconic character, here are some other Bollywood actors who can play the other important characters from Shaktimaan.

Gita Biswas: Janhvi Kapoor or Tamannaah Bhatia

She played a reporter in the news agency where Shaktimaan’s alter ego Gangadhar worked as a photographer. She was the first to report about Shaktimaan and also played his love interest. Janhvi or Tamannaah might fit the bill perfectly to bring the charm and intensity of the character.

Kapaala: Sanjay Dutt

Kapala is an evil and eccentric Tantrik who works for Kilvish. He often locks horns with Shaktimaan through his creations. Sanjay Dutt who has also essayed the menacing Kancha Cheena in Agneepath can be the ideal one for this role.

1st Mahaguru - Amitabh Bachchan or Naseeruddin Shah

He was responsible for bestowing the knowledge and power to Gangadhar which helped him transform into Shaktimaan. Legends like Amitabh Bachchan or Naseeruddin Shah can play this character.

Satyaprakash Nirala - Pankaj Tripathi

Satyaprakash Nirala was the editor of the news agency where Shaktimaan’s alter ego Gangadhar worked. A versatile performer like Pankaj Tripathi might be the correct one to play this character.
