Wow.. this seems to be a genuine news now... The fact that Shekar has written something for Sri itself is such a great feeling.. I hope it is a full-fledged movie that will burn the screens next year

Hey!
Well there is more news on Mr India. But not sure as to if it will be a video game or a film. Here's the link to the article from MUMBAI MIRROR.
Shekhar Kapur’s Mr India 2 will eventually be turned into a video game; however he still has to convince Sridevi to act in the film

Shekhar Kapur
Shekhar Kapur, who has just finished writing the techno-zany sequel to the 1987-blockbuster, Mr India, and is all set to convert the script into a video game, has a task at hand — to convince Sridevi to do Mr India 2.
Shekhar said, “Mr India 2 cannot work without the original cast.. I would be stupid to make Mr India again without Anil Kapoor. And we must have Sridevi. I will work my charm to persuade her. She has to agree.
Ms Hawa Hawaii was a very memorable character. How is Mr India conceivable without Sri? Or without Calendar (Satish Kaushik)? Or for that matter the frazzled newspaper editor (Annu Kapoor) who kept getting wrong numbers on his landline?
I have even gotten over my fear of how to replace Mogambo. It’s a new story filled with special effects. And yes, it has a brand new villain to replace Mogambo.”
Though Shekhar is not at liberty
to
disclose the new post-Mogambo villain’s name, he very willingly confirms the presence of a new hero in the film.
Shekhar said, “We are getting a completely new boy. Though he won’t play the title role, he will play a pivotal part in the plot. I want the new boy in the film to be as charismatic as Rishi Kapoor, Kumar Gaurav or Aamir Khan, when they made their debuts.”

Throwing more light on the script of Mr India 2, Shekhar said, “I have written a basic but modern story. It is about the present day youth and what is happening with technology today.”
However, despite all these preparations, the director of the film is yet to be decided. Shekhar observed, “We are still looking. Today’s directors don’t want to work without a proper plot.
So far the ones we asked were awed by the prospect of equalling or bettering the first part. I am willing to start next month provided we have the suitable director.”
