Mumbai: Producer Boney Kapoor returns with part two of his 1987 mega-success Mr India and Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, stars of the original film, may team up for the sequel.
No, Shekhar Kapoor won't direct it. But Nikhil Advani has been approached.
"Yes I've been sounded out. Boney and I have had preliminary meetings. It would be an honour to continue the Mr India story. I can't see myself being anywhere near Shekhar. And yes, I can't see a Mr India sequel without Anil Kapoor and Sridevi," said Advani.
Will Sridevi make a comeback in Mr India Part 2? Boney isn't averse to the idea.
"It's a good possibility. I feel Sri is looking her best and ready for a vehicle. But it has to be vehicle worthy of her, and Mr India is certainly something she would be proud to do," Boney said.
Ever since his No Entry turned into a surprise money-spinner for producer Boney, he has been lying surprisingly low.
"Isn't that ironical? When my films weren't doing well I was releasing films almost every other month. Now, when I've a solid hit I've chosen to withdraw and gather together my thoughts, make sure that my finances and creative departments are fully operational before launching into the next," he said.
His next production will be a sequel to No Entry, again directed by Anees Bazmi. "But funnier, more savvy and crisp," said Boney.
Speaking on his departure from South Indian remakes and his progress towards sequels Boney clarified, "I agree sequels are now doing well. But, I had decided to do a sequel to Mr India long ago. And the minute No Entry worked I was all for a sequel."
