Actor Mukesh Khanna said Tiger Shroff can't play Shaktimaan, adding, "If [he] tells a child to flush the toilet as Shaktimaan, the kid will turn around and say to him, 'Tu baith jaa (Sit down)'." He added that Tiger doesn't have the stature to portray the character. "Shaktimaan isn't a brawler. He has a seriousness," Mukesh further said.
