Mr India to be revived sans Shekhar Kapur
July 31, 2008: (Mumbai): Even as producer Boney Kapoor aims to revive his 1987 superhit Mr India with a sequel, which could boast two of its original stars Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, director Shekhar Kapur wants no part in it."It's nice to hear but I wont direct," says Shekhar Kapoor, Filmmaker.The filmmaker was out in Mumbai to attend a script writing workshop but with rumours of a sequel doing the rounds it was perhaps not surprising that the talk shifted to casting. But after all what's a Mr India sequel without Mogambo? And there has also been a delay in his much planned, much talked about futuristic project Paani? It remains for the moment at the scripting stage.The director explains that he had to take over late Anthony Minghella's unfinished ode to New York.
