Actor
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui,
a
huge
fan
of
his
"Mom" co-star
Sridevi,
says
if
given
a
chance
to
feature
in
a
remake
of
any
of
her
past
films,
it
would
have
to
be
"Mr.
India".
In
an
interview
to
IANS
here,
Nawazuddin
was
asked
which
character
would
he
like
to
play
in
a
remake
of
any
of
Sridevi's
movies.
He
said:
"There
are
many
movies
of
Sridevi
which
I
love,
like
'Lamhe',
'Chandani',
'Mr.
India',
'English
Vinglish'...
But
I
would
love
to
play
the
role
of
Mr.
India
in
the
remake
of
the
film," Nawazuddin
said.
"Mr.
India",
directed
by
Shekhar
Kapur,
told
the
tale
of
a
poor
but
big-hearted
man
who
takes
orphans
into
his
home.
After
discovering
his
scientist
father's
invisibility
device,
he
rises
to
the
occasion
and
fights
to
save
his
children
and
all
of
India
from
the
clutches
of
a
villain.
Anil
Kapoor
famously
played
Arun
Verma
aka
Mr.
India
in
the
movie,
and
Nawazuddin
wants
to
step
into
his
shoes.
The
film
was
produced
by
Sridevi's
husband
Boney
Kapoor.
There
has
been
much
talk
around
a
"Mr.
India"
sequel
over
the
past
few
years.
Asked
about
it,
Sridevi
said:
"Aisa
kuch
nahi
hai
(There's
nothing
like
that).
People
come
and
ask
us
when
'Mr.
India
2' is
going
to
start.
Seeing
their
enthusiasm,
their
keenness,
we
definitely
thought
we
will
make
a
part
two...
But
it's
too
early
to
talk
about
it
as
there
is
nothing
right
now."
