Bollywood is abuzz with the news of Wamiqa Gabbi potentially starring opposite Ranveer Singh in what is speculated to be an adaptation of the beloved Indian superhero, Shaktimaan, helmed by director Basil Joseph, known for his hit film "Minnal Murali."

Though no official announcements have been made, Wamiqa Gabbi is reportedly in discussions to join the cast of this ambitious project. The film has been in development for five years, aiming to bring a fresh take on the iconic superhero character to the big screen. If finalized, the collaboration between Gabbi and Singh under Joseph's direction promises to inject new energy into the storyline, blending Bollywood's flair with Joseph's unique vision for superhero narratives.

Currently, the project remains in its preliminary stages with pre-production activities in motion. Basil Joseph, despite his limited Hindi proficiency, has been actively engaging in script readings and meetings with Ranveer Singh in Mumbai to ensure the vision for the film is coherent. A source close to the production revealed, "Once the script is completed and final dates are worked out, this will be finalized. [Until then], Ranveer is busy wrapping up Aditya Dhar’s spy film. He will shift focus on [the superhero film] only after March."

This potential casting news adds to the excitement around what could be a significant cultural revival of the Shaktimaan saga for contemporary audiences. Fans and film enthusiasts alike are eagerly waiting for an official confirmation, hoping to see this dynamic duo bring the legendary superhero to life once again.
