The enthusiastic marketing teams of various celebrities often create misleading narratives to benefit their clients. Recently, fans of Allu Arjun have been buzzing with rumors suggesting that he might take over the role of Shaktimaan from Ranveer Singh in the upcoming film adaptation of the iconic Doordarshan series that aired from 1997 to 2005.
Mukesh Khanna originally portrayed the titular character in the series. The film, which is being crafted by actor Basil Joseph, was initially intended to feature Ranveer Singh in the lead role.
