One of the most iconic movies of Bollywood, Mr India featured Anil Kapoor and the late Sridevi. The Shekhar Kapur-directorial still remains quite a hit. Recently, Ali Abbas Zafar took everyone by surprise when he announced that he will be making Mr India into a trilogy. Taking to his Twitter handle, Ali had tweeted, “Excited to partner with @ZeeStudios_ for an epic trilogy #MrIndia! It is a huge responsibility to carry forward an iconic character loved by everyone. Currently, working on the script, no actor has been locked till now. Once we lock the first draft of the script, casting begins!”
However, now, Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam Kapoor has slammed him and the makers for not consulting her father or Shekhar Kapur before finalising everything. Expressing her displeasure over the same, she tweeted, “A lot of people have been asking me about the Mr. India remake. Honestly, my father didn’t even know the film was being remade, we found out about it through social media when @aliabbaszafar tweeted. It’s quite disrespectful and underhanded if it is true since no one bothered to consult my father or Shekhar uncle, two people who played a major role in making the film what it was and is.”
