Ranveer Singh To Play Shaktimaan, Project To Go On Floors In 2026: Report

According to reports from Pinkvilla, Bollywood sensation Ranveer Singh has been cast to portray the iconic role of Shaktimaan in an upcoming film directed by Basil Joseph.

The project is slated to commence filming in May next year, with a planned release in 2026.

Before diving into this exciting venture, Ranveer will fulfill his commitments for Farhan Akhtar’s directorial venture, Don 3. The franchise, previously led by superstar Shah Rukh Khan, now sees Ranveer stepping into the role.

Sources suggest that Ranveer is geared up for a busy couple of years ahead.

“Ranveer will undergo workshops to immerse himself in the character of Don. He sees this film as a significant responsibility, being the third generation of Don following in the footsteps of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Farhan aims to kickstart Don 3 from August/September 2024,” shared an insider with Pinkvilla.

“Following Don 3, Shaktimaan takes precedence. After being in development for over three years, the team has finally crafted a script that honors the legacy of Shaktimaan. Directed by Basil Joseph and produced by Sony Pictures India and Sajid Nadiadwala, the film is set to captivate audiences,” the source further revealed.

Ranveer Singh’s last appearance was in Karan Johar’s directorial venture, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
