Mukesh Khanna had previously demanded the arrest of Samay Raina for creating obscene content.
Now, both are seen together in an advertisement for a mobile phone brand.
The ad also references their past conflict and the FIRs.
Mukesh Khanna is being trolled on social media for compromising his principles.
Mumbai | In the entertainment world, it's hard to say when someone becomes a friend or an enemy. The latest example of this is the recent collaboration between 'Shaktimaan' fame Mukesh Khanna and comedian Samay Raina.
Mukesh Khanna, who once called Samay Raina obscene, is now seen sharing the screen with him, sparking a new debate on social media.
What is the whole issue?
An advertisement for a mobile phone is going viral on social media. In this ad, comedian Samay Raina and Mukesh Khanna, in his 'Shaktimaan' character, appear together.
This collaboration is shocking because, until recently, Mukesh Khanna was one of the biggest critics of Samay Raina's content.
Glimpse of old conflict in the ad
The ad begins with Samay Raina talking on the phone on a rooftop when Shaktimaan arrives. Shaktimaan says, 'I have come to straighten your crooked tail.'
He then reminds Samay of the three FIRs and says, 'Your face must be blackened.' This dialogue directly alludes to their past dispute.
When Shaktimaan demanded Raina's arrest
It is important to remember that at one point, Mukesh Khanna had made several videos against Samay Raina. He accused Raina of creating obscene content.
Not only that, he even called Raina a 'dog' and demanded his immediate arrest. Khanna wanted Raina to be imprisoned for life.
Voices of 'hypocrisy' on social media
As soon as the advertisement was released, social media users started trolling Mukesh Khanna. People accused him of compromising his principles for money.
One user wrote on X,
'Neither father nor brother is bigger, the biggest is money.' Mukesh Khanna, known as 'Shaktimaan', had made more than 10 videos against Samay Raina at that time.
People are saying that the person who talks at length about Indian culture and nationalism has forgotten his own words for a hefty sum.
This incident highlights the ongoing conflict between principles and commercial interests in the entertainment industry. Fans are now questioning whether the moral stands of public figures change only according to convenience.
