Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, best known for portraying the iconic superhero Shaktimaan, recently revealed that he once rejected an offer from Yash Raj Films (YRF) to sell the character\u2019s rights.

Mukesh Khanna\u2019s Encounter with YRF<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mukesh Khanna shared that Aditya Chopra\u2019s team approached him a decade ago with a proposition to acquire the rights to Shaktimaan. Recalling the conversation, Khanna said, \u201cTen years ago, I was contacted by Aditya Chopra\u2019s group. They asked me if I could give them the rights to Shaktimaan.\u201d He added, \u201cAt that time, coincidentally, Ranveer Singh\u2019s fan-made picture as Shaktimaan surfaced on social media. And then, suddenly, I got this call for the rights. I said, \u2018Rights nahin doonga main (I won\u2019t give the rights).’\u201d<\/p>\n

Khanna explained that he was concerned about the creative direction YRF might take with the character. He stated, \u201cI told them, \u2018Tell Aditya, whoever he is, if you want to make it, make it with me.\u2019 I didn\u2019t want to give away the rights only for them to make a disco drama. I refused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casting Preferences for Shaktimaan<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Earlier, in a video posted on his YouTube channel, Khanna expressed his views on actors who could potentially reprise the role of Shaktimaan on the big screen. While he acknowledged Allu Arjun as a viable candidate, he ruled out Ranveer Singh. \u201cI think I have to watch more Allu Arjun films. Also, let me go out on a limb and say that he has it in him to be Shaktimaan. I am not saying he is doing it or anything. I\u2019m just suggesting that it would look good on him. He has the personality to pull it off,\u201d Khanna remarked.<\/p>\n
