Mr India: Anil Kapoor and Sridevi’s 1987 film ‘Mr. India’ is an iconic film of Hindi cinema. This film was far ahead of its time. Due to the interesting story, brilliant direction and tremendous acting of all the stars, this film is still praised a lot. During an interview, the film’s director Shekhar Kapur had shared many stories related to the set. He also narrated a funny incident of Sridevi with the cockroach in the film.
Cockroach was given alcohol to drink for the scene with Sridevi
Actually, while talking to Daily Post, Shekhar revealed that there was a scene of cockroach and Sridevi in the film. Now the question was how the cockroach was made to act. He told that then he and cinematographer Baba Azmi had decided to pour some rum in front of the cockroach. He revealed, “Me and Baba Azmi, we were thinking how to activate the cockroach? We thought let’s get a bottle of Old Monk Rum… We poured some rum in front of the cockroach… We thought it would drink and do the movements (laughs). We actually felt as if the cockroach had become drunk… perhaps the cockroach liked the Old Monk. ,
There will be a sequel of ‘Mr India’
Apart from Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, veterans like Satish Kaushik, Amrish Puri and Annu Kapoor played brilliant roles in Mr. India. The film was produced by Boney Kapoor. Recently the makers had revealed that its sequel is currently in the pre-mature stage and it is likely to be made soon.
In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Boney said, “It will definitely come back. When it has to happen, it will happen. Actually, recently a foreign studio/western studio had contacted me. It could be a combination of Zee Studios, Boney Kapoor and that foreign studio. We can cooperate. So, things are at a very premature stage. I can’t talk much but it will happen. “This will definitely happen in the times to come.”
