Take two: Mr India returns
Agencies
After more than two decades, Anil Kapoor is readying to play the
invisible man again in a sequel to the blockbuster.
Producer Boney Kapoor is all set to revive his 1987 science fiction
blockbuster Mr India with a sequel starring two of its original
stars – brother Anil Kapoor and wife Sridevi.
But Shekhar Kapur will have no part in it as it will be directed by
Nikhil Advani of Kal Ho Na Ho and Salaam-E-Ishq fame.
Mother-of-two Sridevi is working hard to get in shape for the movie
which is expected to go on the floor early next year.
In fact, she has turned down a role opposite Amitabh Bachchan so that
she can concentrate on her home production.
"I feel Sri is looking her best and is ready for a vehicle. But it
has to be a vehicle worthy of her, and Mr India is certainly
something she would be proud to do," Boney said in a report.
Boney, however, will have a tough time finding a villain who could
match the evil incarnate Mogambo, immortalised by the late Amrish
Puri. Shekhar Kapur also feels that the movie will be reduced to a
trifle without him. "Who will play Mogambo? I can't see anybody else
being Mogambo," he said.
