Ranveer Singh rekindles ‘Shaktimaan’ buzz with comment on Basil Joseph’s Post

Basil Joseph on Sunday announced the launch of his own production company, Basil Joseph Entertainment. The news quickly caught the attention of fans and colleagues across the film industry, with actors including Tovino Thomas and Nikhila Vimal congratulating him on the move.

However, it was a surprise comment from Bollywood star Ranveer Singh that drew extra attention. Under Basil’s post, Ranveer dropped a heart emoji and an evil eye emoji, to which Basil replied, “Bhai.” The exchange set off chatter among fans, given the history between the two.

Basil and Ranveer were once attached to the much-anticipated ‘Shaktimaan’ movie. Reports at the time suggested that Basil was set to direct the project, but it has since been put on hold due to production hurdles and opposition from Mukesh Khanna, the creator and original star of the iconic series. With no updates about the film in recent months, Ranveer’s comment sparked renewed curiosity.

In Malayalam cinema, Basil has carved a niche for himself as both an actor and director, known for balancing humour with meaningful storytelling. His most recent release was the dark comedy ‘Maranamass’, directed by Sivaprasad. He also made a cameo appearance in Sathyan Anthikad’s family drama ‘Hridayapoorvam’, starring Mohanlal, which hit screens on August 28.

With the launch of Basil Joseph Entertainment, the filmmaker is set to embark on a new chapter, one that promises bold, innovative stories. While no details have been revealed yet, fans are eagerly waiting to see what the first project under his banner will be.
