Ranveer Singh not producing Shaktimaan, actor's team clarifies he is busy with Dhurandhar and Don 3
After months of speculations that actor Ranveer Singh is set to produce a new Shaktimaan project and collaborate with original creator Mukesh Khanna, his team has come forward to quash any such claims. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor's team has issued a statement clarifying that there is no truth to actor acquiring rights of the superhero show. (Also read: 'Go well, King!': Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Suniel Shetty pay tributes as Virat Kohli retires from Test cricket) Squashing the reports, Ranveer's team said in a statement, "The news about Ranveer Singh acquiring rights of developing a new superhero (Shaktimaan) project as the producer holds no truth. He is currently busy shooting for Aditya Dhar's next and then, Don 3 is also on the cards for him.' In an earlier interview, Mukesh stated that Ranveer had tried to convince him to let him play the superhero in a new adaptation. Mukesh told Bollywood Thikana, "That poor guy (Ranveer Singh) was sitting in front of me for three hours. But it doesn't reflect on his face, what it needs to play Shaktimaan. He looks fickle as if he will con somebody. But he is a terrific actor. When I praised him I mentioned that nobody else in the film industry has the energy like him. But I haven't approved him for the role. He must have felt bad." Ranveer is currently busy shooting for his next Dhurandhar, an action-packed espionage thriller directed by Aditya Dhar. The director is best known for the acclaimed Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019). Dhurandhar boasts of an interesting star cast which includes Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan and Arjun Rampal. Reportedly, the film is drawing inspiration from real-life covert operations led by India's current National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval.

Govinda and Raaj Kumar Back in 1987, during the shooting of 'Marte Dam Tak' the sets witnessed a memorable incident involving two iconic actors—Govinda and Raaj Kumar. Known for his unique and sometimes eccentric presence on film sets, Raaj Kumar once had a playful yet sharp exchange with the young Govinda that has since become a piece of Bollywood folklore. The story was recently shared by the film's director, Mehul Kumar who was giving fans a peek into the lighter side of the industry's veterans. Govinda had worn a bright and eye-catching shirt to the set that day which caught Raaj Kumar's attention. Raaj Kumar complimented the actor on his shirt but the praise was laced with sarcasm. However, Govinda didn't catch the subtle irony in Raaj Kumar's words. Taking the compliment at face value, Govinda decided to gift Raaj Kumar the very same shirt the following day as a gesture of goodwill. What happened next left everyone stunned Raaj Kumar with his trademark wit, transformed Govinda's generous gift into a practical handkerchief using it openly to wipe his hands and nose. This unexpected act of sarcasm played out right in front of Govinda, who was left speechless by the incident. Mehul Kumar recounted this moment to Bollywood Thikana adding that Govinda likely found the whole episode a bit awkward. Raaj kumar's playful jabs and behind-the-scenes banter Mehul Kumar also revealed another amusing anecdote about Raaj Kumar's observations on Govinda's energetic nature. The veteran actor remarked to the director that Govinda was constantly dancing—even while on set. Mehul's reaction was simple, 'he is a dancer,' but Raaj Kumar couldn't understand why Govinda's dancing seemed relentless, jokingly questioning his nonstop moves. This light-hearted teasing, however was never directed openly at Govinda, keeping their professional respect intact. Mehul Kumar's cinematic journey Though 'Marte Dam Tak' didn't make a major impact at the box office, Mehul Kumar went on to direct some of the most memorable hits in the 1990s. His films 'Tirangaa' (1992) and 'Krantiveer' (1994) remain cult classics, featuring powerful performances from legends like Raaj Kumar and Nana Patekar.
