Mr. India director Satish Kaushik does not want a remake or sequel: ‘There are a few films that should not be touched.’

Mr. India director Satish Kaushik has stated that he does not want a remake or sequel. The cult classic, which also starred Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, and Amrish Puri, was released in 1987. The Shekhar Kapur film introduced the audience to the iconic villain Mogambo and his equally popular line, as well as setting a precedent in Hindi cinema for the rarely seen superhero genre. The film has been remade in Tamil and Kannada.

Satish Kaushik, who played Calendar in the movie, has now stated that the film should not be remade or given a sequel in today’s world. The actor stated that no one other than Anil Kapoor could do justice to the role of Mr. India, aka Arun Verma, and that some things should be left alone.

According to ETimes, he said, “There are a few films that, in my opinion, should not be touched, whether for a remake or sequel. Mr. India is one of those films that, in my opinion, should not be remade because it will lose its charm. Mr. India was the result of a group of talented people working together to make a fun film. Everyone believed in the project, from Shekhar Kapur to Boney Kapoor, Javed Akhtar to special effects, action directors, and the cast and crew, including cinematographer Baba Azmi, action director Veeru Devgan, Peter Periera (special effects camera), Art Director Bijon Das Gupta, choreographer Saroj Khan, and music composers Laxmikant Pyarelal.”

“It’s such an iconic film with such a great legacy,” Satish continued, “that if it ever comes out, it can only be pulled off by Anil Kapoor, and no one else.”

Ali Abbas Zafar, a filmmaker, announced in 2020 that he would be making a film called Mr India. “It’s a completely new film, we’re just calling it Mr India,” the filmmaker clarified when asked if the film was a sequel or remake. My film is essentially about a common man battling a powerful villain, but in a cool, hip way that incorporates science and technology while remaining relevant to today’s social situation.”

Satish recently reunited with Anil for the Netflix film Thar, in which Anil’s son Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor also starred. Satish and Anil starred as cops in the Netflix western noir that premiered on May 6.

Is Ekta Kapoor planning a second child? Four things are known to us.

Ekta Kapoor, a producer, wears multiple hats. In addition to producing material for OTT, TV (Balaji Telefilms), and film (Balaji Motion Pictures), she is a mother. Here are four facts we know about her, despite contradictory allegations that she is expecting a second child.

Is Ekta planning a second child?

An source disclosed to Bollywood Life in a since-deleted story that Ekta is arranging for a surrogate to carry another child. Ravie Kapoor, Ekta’s five-year-old son, needs a sibling because she has experienced that life herself. She has the strongest sibling connection with Tusshar Kapoor, and they always have each other’s backs. Additionally, the insider revealed that Ekta has considered having another child soon since she believes Ravie, her older son, shouldn’t experience the void that comes with sibling bonding.

Put an end to rumours?

But according to a recent Times of India story, a second person close to Ekta denied the claims. Spreading misleading information in an exclusive story solely to get traffic is wrong. Journalists should respectfully confirm details with the team before posting. People coming up with this news is so ridiculous and hilarious, they said.

Ekta’s initial child

Ravie Kapoor, a son, was Ekta’s first child, and she revealed this information in 2019. It’s interesting to note that her son has the name of Jeetendra, the seasoned actor and producer whose true name is Ravi Kapoor, as well as Ekta’s father. Ravie just had a lavish fifth birthday celebration, hosted by Ekta in January.

The son of Tusshar

In addition to Ekta, actor Tusshar Kapoor, who is her brother, also conceived his son through surrogacy. Using the same surrogate route as Ekta, Tusshar welcomed Lakshya into the world in the same year.

Regarding her career, Ekta is pleased with Crew, the heist comedy directed by Rajesh A Krishnan and starring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon. Crew brought in over ₹75 crore at the domestic box office. She also just had another movie launched in theatres, LSD 2: Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 by Dibakar Banerjee. Among her future films is The Sabarmati Report, which features Vikrant Massey.
