Bollywood star Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a huge fan of his
"Mom" co-star Sridevi, tells if given a chance to feature in a remake
of any of her past movies, it would have to be "Mr. India".
In an interview, Nawazuddin was questioned which character
would he like to play in a remake of any of Sridevi's films.
"There are many movies of Sridevi which I love, like
'Lamhe', 'Chandani', 'Mr. India', 'English Vinglish'... But I would love to
play the role of Mr. India in the remake of the film," Nawazuddin told.
"Mr. India", helmed by Shekhar Kapur, told the
tale of a poor but big-hearted man who takes orphans into his home. After
discovering his scientist father's invisibility device, he rises to the
occasion and fights to save his children and all of India from the clutches of
a villain.
Anil Kapoor notably played Arun Verma aka Mr. India in the
movie, and Nawazuddin wants to step into his shoes.
The movie was produced by Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor.
There has been much talk around a "Mr. India"
sequel over the past few years.
