Recently,
Bharat
director
Ali
Abbas
Zafar
confirmed
that
he
intends
to
make
a
trilogy
on
Anil
Kapoor-Sridevi's
Mr
India.
The
filmmaker
had
tweeted,
"Excited
to
partner
with
@ZeeStudios_
for
an
epic
trilogy
#MrIndia!
It
is
a
huge
responsibility
to
carry
forward
an
iconic
character
loved
by
everyone.
Currently,
working
on
the
script,
no
actor
has
been
locked
till
now.
Once
we
lock
the
first
draft
of
the
script,
casting
begins!"
It
looks
like
the
announcement
didn't
go
down
well
with
Sonam
Kapoor
who
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
call
out
the
filmmaker
for
reviving
the
film
without
informing
her
dad
Anil
Kapoor
and
Shekhar
Kapur
who
originally
helmed
the
Anil
Kapoor-Sridevi
starrer.
The
Zoya
Factor
actress
wrote
on
her
Instagram
page,
"A
lot
of
people
have
been
asking
me
about
the
MR.
India
remake.Honestly
my
father
didn't
even
know
the
film
was
being
remade,we
found
out
about
it
through
social
media
when
@aliabbaszafar
tweeted.It's
quite
disrespectful
and
underhanded
if
it
is
true,since
no
one
bothered
to
consult
my
father
or
Shekhar
uncle,
two
people
who
played
a
major
role
in
making
the
film
what
it
was
and
is.
It's
sad
because
that
was
a
film
made
with
heart
and
hard
work
and
is
very
sentimental
to
my
father,
beyond
commerce
and
announcements,it's
a
part
of
his
legacy.I
should
hope
that
respect
for
someone's
work
and
contribution
is
still
as
important
to
us
as
a
big
weekend
at
the
box
office."
When
one
of
her
fans
pointed
out
that
Anil
and
Shekhar
"didn't
have
any
rights
of
the
movie
and
there
was
no
need
to
consult
them
before
making
a
remake",
the
actress
hit
back,
"Since
my
father
didnt
take
a
fee
to
do
the
film,
and
was
produced
in
partnership,
yes
in
effect
he
is
the
producer
of
the
film."
Meanwhile,
Shekhar
Kapur
too
expressed
his
disappointment
on
the
film's
announcement
and
tweeted,
"No
one
has
even
asked
me
or
mentioned
to
me
about
this
film
called
Mr
India
2.
I
can
only
guess
that
they
using
the
title
to
get
a
big
weekend.
For
they
cannot
use
the
characters/story
without
permission
from
the
original
creators
of
the
film."
Well,
it
needs
to
be
seen
how
Ali
Abbas
Zafar
reacts
to
Sonam
Kapoor
and
Shekhar
Kapur's
posts.
