1.Mr India
In 1987, producer Boney Kapoor brought an ambitious sci-fi drama, Mr India, starring Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Amrish Puri, Satish Kaushik, and others. The film was directed by Shekhar Kapoor (Masoom fame). The movie also gave a platform to Ahmed Khan and Aftab Shivdasani, who starred as child artistes, and later became popular director and actor respectively.
2.Mr India was written for Amitabh Bachchan, was rejected by...
Mr India was written by Salim-Javed. This was their last project before they parted ways. As per the news reports, Mr India was written for Amitabh Bachchan, but he was busy in politics, and had some date issues. Thus, he rejected the film. After getting rejected from Bachchan, Salim-Javed also reportedly approached Rajesh Khanna for the film, but he also declined due to its subject of invisibility. There were also reports that even Kamal Haasan was approached for the titular role, but he also rejected the film.
3.Amrish Puri was not the original choice for Mogambo
Amrish Puri, who immortalised Mogambo, was not the original choice for the role. As per the reports, Anupam Kher was considered to play the main antogonist, but he lost the role after Anil recommended Amrish for the role. Even Salim-Javed didn't find Anupam scary, so he was dropped from the film.
4.Box office collection of Mr India
Released in cinemas on May 25, 1987, Mr India went on to become the second highest-grossing film of the year. Made in the reported budget of Rs 2 crore, the film grossed Rs 10.80 crores.

5.What happened to Mr India 2 with Salman Khan?
Reportedly in 2008, Boney announced the sequel to Mr India, with Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, and Salman Khan. There were reports that Salman would be playing the main villain, and Boney was keen to work on Part 2. However, the project never took off. Sridevi also passed away in 2018, and the plans for Mr India 2 went kaput. In 2023, during the promotions of Maidaan, Boney confirmed that the pre-production of Mr India 2 is on, and he's collaborating with an international studio. It would be interesting to see Mr India 2, as the film holds a special place among fans.
