Mukesh Khanna who is known for being India’s first superhero Shaktimaan after he played the superhero in the TV series which was aired from 1997 to 2005. There have been rumours of the TV series being adapted into a film. Amidst that, Khanna has also not been in the favour of Ranveer Singh getting into the shoes. As Khanna wore the Shaktimaan costume again and said that it’s time for him to return, the actor started getting trolled and age-shamed.
But the actor has now dropped a video clarifying his act. Khanna said that he just wanted to teach children as he came with a patriotic song and though wearing the Shaktimaan costume would help the message reach out to more children. He expressed that positivity is not selling, just negativity is selling today. He said, “Maine yeh kab kaha ki main wapis aa raha hoon. Ya main hi Shaktimaan banuga. Main toh hoon hi Shaktimaan, par maine yeh desh bhakti wale geet ke liye costume dobara pehna.”
He further added, “Kisi ne iss gaane ki ya iske peeche ke soch ki tarif nahi ki. Sabne kaha ki ‘Arey saab yeh toh khudh hi Shaktimaan ban raha hai’. Aisa nahi hai. Maine socha ki costume ke saath yeh geet, aur iski baatein aur impactful lagegi.”
Khanna hit back at trolls who age-shamed him. He said, “Aapko pata hai meri umar kya hai. Meri umar 160 saal hai. Inn YouTubers mein se kitne aise hai jinhone kaha tha ki ‘Aap humare hero ho. Koi aur Shaktimaan nahi ban sakta’. Woh kehte the ki jab Rajinikanth iss umar mein aa kar makeup laga kar hero ban sakte hai, toh aap kyu nahi? Aur aaj yehi meri umar ka mazak uda rahe hai.”
He concluded his video by saying that he wants to pass on the title of Shaktimaan to a new actor who has that sort of innocent face and personality.
