Anil
Kapoor-
Sridevi's
Mr
India
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
cult
films
which
gave
us
an
iconic
villain
of
all
times-
Amrish
Puri
as
Mogambo.
Since
a
very
long
time,
there
have
been
reports
about
the
makers
planning
a
sequel
to
this
blockbuster
hit.
Boney
Kapoor
had
said
in
one
of
his
interviews,
"Yes,
Mr.
India
sequel
is
definitely
on.
However,
I
can't
talk
any
more
now
or
reveal
any
more
details.
We
will
make
the
official
announcements
after
everything
is
worked
out
creatively."
Even
Sridevi
was
quite
keen
that
a
sequel
should
be
made.
However
now
with
her
untimely
demise,
we
hear
that
the
makers
have
shelved
the
project.

Sridevi
Was
Keen
For
Mr
India
2
The
late
actress
was
quoted
as
saying
in
one
of
her
interviews
with
Bombay
Times,
"Would
I
like
to
make
Mr
India
2?
Yes,
I
would
love
to.
I
am
itching
to
make
a
few
more
films
like
that.
It
is
too
early
to
talk
about
it,
but
Mr
India
2
is
definitely
on,
because
wherever
we
go,
we
are
always
asked
about
it,
and
it's
very
rare
to
see
such
eagerness
for
a
sequel.
Mr
India
2
will
happen...
I
want
Boneyji
to
make
it.
And
I
think
he
will
do
it.
The
story
isn't
finalised
yet,
so
it
hasn't
reached
a
stage
where
we
can
say
anything
more
about
it."
Sridevi's
Untimely
Death
Changed
The
Scenario
If
reports
are
to
be
believed
then
Boney
Kapoor
and
Anil
Kapoor,
who
had
jointly
produced
the
prequel,
have
collectively
decided
to
shelve
Mr
India
2
since
Sridevi
is
no
more.
No
Mr
India
2
Without
Sridevi
A
source
close
to
the
project
told
Deccan
Chronicle
that
it
makes
no
sense
to
made
a
sequel
to
Mr
India
without
Sridevi.
It's
Impoosible
To
Recreate
The
Magic
Now
"It
makes
no
sense
to
have
a
sequel
without
Sridevi.
It's
like
Mother
India
without
Nargis,
or
Agra
without
the
Taj
Mahal.
Mr.
India
is
so
closely
associated
with
three
main
actors
Anil
Kapoor,
Amrish
Puri
and
Sridevi.
And
with
two
of
them
gone
it
would
be
impossible
to
recreate
the
magic
of
the
original.
Boney
and
Anil
have
decided
to
call
off
the
sequel
plans,"
a
source
close
to
project
was
quoted
as
saying.
Shekhar
Kapur
Has
This
To
Say
"I
don't
know
what
is
happening
with
that
project
or
what
Boney's
plans
are.
I
was
never
going
to
direct
the
sequel.
Now
with
Sridevi
no
more,
the
question
doesn't
arise."
Meanwhile,
do
you
folks
think
that
the
makers
should
go
ahead
with
Mr
India
2
minus
Sridevi?
