All the fans of Mr. India, here’s good news for you. The much loved Bollywood film which just completed its 32 years is all set to get its reboot.
Producer of the original film, Boney Kapoor in an interview to Mid-Day confirmed that he is planning a reboot of Mr.India and from there, they will make it a franchise.
The filmmaker said, “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.”

Recalling the time when they first made Mr. India, Boney said, “We put up a large set near Versova beach. I was so happy with the costumes that I paid a bonus to the stylist. Amrish Puri as Mogambo was a masterstroke; he brought the character alive.”
Sridevi was one of the major highlights of the film. Boney said that after her demise, he has even more reasons to make the reboot. “While Sri was considered a glamorous star earlier, the audiences’ perception of her changed after Mr India — then on, she was seen as a powerful actress. Anil too became more legitimate a performer with the film. After Sri, I have even more reason to make the film now.” he said.
