Janhvi Kapoor’s Thoughts on Mr. India Sequel Should It Be Remade
During a recent promotional outing for her forthcoming film ‘Ulajh’, Bollywood star kid Janhvi Kapoor was asked if she would want to be cast in the sequel of her mother’s iconic hit ‘Mr. India’, which is reportedly in the works.
Kapoor said, “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.”

“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,” the ‘Gunjan Saxena’ actor maintained.
Speaking about her father Boney Kapoor, who produced the original title 37 years ago, the actor added, “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; and 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]’”.
