Shekhar Kapur Mr India

Mr India, featuring Anil Kapoor and Sridevi, was way ahead of its time

"No wonder your performance in Mr India still stands out as one of the most iconic performances in Hindi films of all time," said director Shekhar Kapur

It all began when a user shared a clip of Mr India playing on television

Shekhar Kapur revealed he's "completely dyslexic" earlier this week

"A bit of me wrenched away. Leaving a huge gap," wrote Shekhar Kapur

The film released in theatres on May 25, 1987

"Saroj Khan would be sitting on a chair. Laughing. Sharing jokes with members of the set. Suddenly the music would come on. All eyes would turn to Saroj," wrote Shekhar Kapur

"Shekhar sahib the story, the situations, the scenes, the characters, the dialogue, the lyrics, even the title, none of these were yours," wrote Javed Akhtar

"Directors lead and inspire every aspect of a film and have no creative rights?" tweeted Shekhar Kapur

"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," wrote Sonam Kapoor

"I thought that makers of the film took the right decision by casting Amrish ji in their film," said the actor

"I provoked Shekhar Kapur that she should look more sensuous," said Boney Kapoor

Anil Kapoor made a trip down the memory lane - all the way back to 1987

Shekhar Kapur said: "I can't watch any of my films because I only see what I could have done better"

Last year, several reports stated that Sridevis husband Boney Kapoor and Anil Kapoor were to produce the sequel.
