Ranveer Singh playing a superhero, let us tell you that your wish has been granted. Basil Joesph and Ranveer come together to take us back to our childhood and recreate the 1990s classic, Shaktimaan. The actor has a busy year as he has three monstrous releases to work on.
In the next two years, Ranveer Singh will be seen in some mega blockbusters like Rohit Shetty's Singham 3, Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, and Basil Joesph's Shaktimaan. For the uninitiated, Joesph is an actor and filmmaker who predominantly works in the
Malayalam film industry.

It is the handing over of the baton to one of the most loved and revered franchises of Hindi cinema. The significance of that is not lost on me. When the announcement was made, as expected, it came with its share of skepticism."
"But throughout the history of cinema, this has happened. Even as recently as perhaps when the Bond franchise changed hands and they announced Daniel Craig as the new Bond, it came with its fair share of skepticism. So, this is only natural,' the Simmba actor further added.
