No Mr India sequel at the moment, confirms Shekhar Kapur

Speculations have been rife lately that cult classic Mr India (1987), which had Anil Kapoor and Sridevi fronting the cast, is set to have a sequel. However, when director Shekhar Kapur was asked about the same, he denied any such development. The famed director simply said, “False alarm!”

The filmmaker went on to add that he has no idea what is happening with the project. “I don’t know what is happening with that project or what Boney Kapoor (producer) is planning. I was never going to direct the sequel and now with Sridevi gone, the question doesn’t arise.”


A source close to Boney Kapoor also revealed that with Sridevi no more, there is no possibility of Mr India 2. “There will never be another Mr India. Sridevi is gone and it is impossible to imagine Mr India without Sridevi. Even if Anil Kapoor was agreeable, Boney Kapoor, who was the producer of Mr India, would never dream of doing a sequel without his late wife.”

Meanwhile, news also has it that Shekhar Kapur is planning to direct a web-series and he may team up with Anil Kapoor for the same.

  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
