Mumbai, January 16 - In February 2022, Sony Pictures India in association with Mukesh Khanna's Bheeshm International announced the big screen adaptation of Khanna-led iconic superhero TV show Shaktimaan. The makes also released the concept video and announced that it would be made into a trilogy.

However, after making the grand announcement, there hasn't been a concrete development on the same, except for reports that Ranveer Singh is on board to headline the project with Malayalam actor and filmmaker Basil Joseph to direct it.



Since there was not much happening around this ambitious film, it was recently reported that the makers have shelved it due to its high budget which is said to be over 500 crores. The report claimed that Sony was not ready to invest such a huge amount in the film at the moment but might revisit it in the future with a reduced budget.

But it seems there was no truth about the aforementioned development as General Manager & Head, Sony Pictures International Productions, India, Lada Guruden Singh has refuted the reports and confirmed that the movie is very much on. The timeline of shooting details is not revealed yet but it is expected to go on floors later this year.



Ranveer Singh, meanwhile, is currently shooting for director Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn's "Singham Again", in which he plays an extended cameo as Simmba. He will soon start director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Baiju Bawra", followed by "Shaktimaan" potentially as his next.
