Ulajh actress Janhvi Kapoor has addressed the possibility of featuring in a sequel to the 1987 cult classic Mr India.
During a recent interview, Janhvi also shared her thoughts on whether there should be a sequel to the iconic film, which starred her late mother, Sridevi, and her uncle, Anil Kapoor, in lead roles.
Janhvi Kapoor On Whether She’d Like To Work In Mr India Sequel
Janhvi expressed her admiration for the original film. She told Pinkvilla, “Mr India is one of the best films to have come out of Indian cinema. I don’t know if a film like that should ever be remade or touched again.” She further added, “I don’t know what the plans for that are. Again, I think the makers know best. Whoever the director would be, he will know best. Something as pure as that, you can’t enforce things on that.”
On If She Wants Father Boney Kapoor To Cast Her In His Film
Janhvi also spoke about trusting her father, producer Boney Kapoor’s decisions. She said, “Never have I been like, ‘No, I don’t want to do this film.’ I trust his judgment too much. I never reject it. But I have never put that pressure on him to have me in his film. I am his daughter first and an actress speaking to a producer, second. It’s not even in my head. As a daughter, I want him to make decisions that are best for his business model; for his movie. And I only want him to operate in that way, so I haven’t ever been like, ‘Please take me (in your film).'”
Last year, Anil Kapoor featured as Mr India in an advertisement. At that time, Boney Kapoor hinted at a sequel by sharing a video on X (formerly Twitter). He said, “Work in progress for a big screen appearance. #MrIndia #MrIndia2 @AnilKapoor.”
