Late Sridevi’s hit film Mr India (1987) is going to get a sequel, and this time it’s happening.
Boney Kapoor confirmed the news to Mid-Day. “The idea is to create a reboot first, and then, make a franchise of it. It needs to be made more contemporary. We have a basic structure in mind. We haven’t decided on a timeline yet, but intend to make it soon.”
The reboot was proposed much earlier but after Sridevi’s sudden demise in 2018, Boney and the film’s lead actor Anil Kapoor aborted the plan.
Fast forward one year and the two have reversed their decision. The news comes a day after the cast and crew celebrated 32 years of Mr India. “After Sri, I have even more reason to make the film now,” the producer told the publication.
