Mumbai: India’s first sci-fi film is all set to make a comeback. And if grapevine is to be believed, the sequel to Shekhar Kapoor’s ‘Mr. India’ is going to get a bigger canvas.
Producer Boney Kapoor has been toying with the idea of a sequel of the cult film for a long time and had even approached Anurag Basu to direct the film. But source close to Boney states that he was always keen on having Shekhar Kapoor to direct the sequel.
Speaking to a daily, a source revealed, “Shekhar had prior commitments and had said that he would be present as the creative consultant on the project.” But things seemed to have changed now as Shekhar has finally given his nod to direct the film. Although the filmmaker is cautious about confirming the news on record, but he admits that he is in talks with Boney. “It is too early to talk about this. But yes, Boney and I have been talking about it often,” said the filmmaker.
Meanwhile, Boney has managed a casting coup of sorts and has convinced reigning superstar Salman Khan to be a part of the ambitious project. Boney who has always maintained that he will not make films without Salman had earlier gone on record and said, “I don’t think I can make a film without Salman. He is in ‘Mr. India 2’ and also in the sequel to ‘No Entry’.”
Rumours have it that Salman might be playing his first ever negative role in the film. The film will also have the original lead pair-Anil Kapoor and Sridevi playing important cameos.
‘Mr. India 2’ is expected to hit theatres in 2014. At present, Boney is busy converting the first part into 3D, which will be released a few weeks before its sequel.
In the first part, Amrish Puri had immotalised the evil Mogambo, so much so that his famous line- Mogambo khush hua has become a part of the popular culture now. So, can we also expect Salman to portray a character of similar stature in the second part?

Mumbai: The recent buzz from the b`wood planet is about the glamorous Deepika Padukone doing garba dance for Sanjay Leela Bhansali`s ‘Ram Leela’. When it comes to garba, who could ever forget the song Dholi Taro of ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and Bhansali wants to re-establish the same glee. The director reportedly asked Deepika to make it as pulsating as Ash`s number.
The choreographers from rural Gujrat who worked on Aishwarya`s song “Dholi Taro” have been assigned to choreograph the new song. It looks like Bhansali is very serious about his new venture and it might be a hard-hitting assignment for Deepika too.
Although Deepika is a master in classical dancing from her generation of actresses yet garba is totally a new dance form for her. The constant pressure of being compared to Aishwarya is said to be taking a toll on Deepika.
Also word has it that Deepika`s role in the film is very much similar to that of Aishwarya`s in ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’. All of which means more unnerving comparisons between the two actresses.
Chennai: Kamal Haasan, who turns 58 Wednesday, says his upcoming bilingual action-thriller ‘Vishwaroopam’ will not hurt any community.
"My film is neither about terrorism nor Islam. It won`t even hurt any community for that matter. The story traverses through the adversities of war, and, therefore it may appear as though it`s about terrorism, but it`s not," Kamal told reporters here Wednesday.
Kamal, who has written and directed ‘Vishwaroopam’, has co-produced the film with PVP cinemas.
The film, which has music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, stars Rahul Bose, Andrea Jeremiah, Pooja Kumar and Jaideep Ahlawat in lead roles.
The film has a Hindi version, which is titled ‘Vishwaroop’.
