Mukesh Khanna REJECTS Tiger Shroff As Next Shaktimaan, Trolls Him: 'He Doesn’t Have The...'
Mukesh Khanna disses the idea of Tiger Shroff replacing him as the next Shaktimaan.
Actor Mukesh Khanna mocked Tiger Shroff when asked if he qualified to be the next Shaktimaan. The actor not only said he is still a child and lacks the maturity to convince children to do better in the society but he added that kids might troll him if he tried to school them. He added that finding the next Shaktimaan is not as easy as finding the next Iron Man or Superman.
Speaking with ABP Live about Tiger Shroff, Mukesh said, “Forgive me, but if Tiger Shroff tells a child to flush the toilet as Shaktimaan, the kid will turn around and say to him, ‘Tu baith jaa (Sit down)’."

“He is still a child among children, that’s his image. He doesn’t have the stature that one needs to play Shaktimaan, who had a gravity not because of me, but because of the character that he is. Shaktimaan isn’t a brainless brawler. He has a seriousness, he is wise. He is an evolved person, for God’s sake. He is not an ordinary Arnold Schwarzenegger, nor does he have a suit like Iron Man, nor has he flown in from Krypton like Superman. His costume is created by combining the five elements. You can imagine the power he wields, and I don’t want someone who doesn’t have the required stature playing him," he added.
Coincidentally, Tiger has played a superhero in Flying Jatt.
