Not only a producer, the director was also a heroine crazy, confessed after 38 years, the film earned it.

New Delhi. Bollywood’s 1987 blockbuster film ‘Mr. India’ is counted among the most memorable films of Hindi cinema. The film made in Anil Kapoor’s title role and Boney Kapoor-Surinder Kapoor’s production was directed by Shekhar Kapoor. Interestingly, Shekhar Kapoor has made only seven feature films so far, but ‘Mr. India’ became the identity of his career. However, Shekhar Kapoor himself believes that the real magic of this film came from Anil Kapoor or story, but Sridevi’s brilliant acting and only her (Sridevi) came from her (Sridevi) charisma. He also believed that he had a crush on ‘Chandni’.

In a recent interview to Filmfare, Shekhar Kapoor made many big revelations about Sridevi and the film about ‘Mr. India’. During the shooting of the song of the film, he spoke to Sridevi on 103 degree fever, comic scene of the film and Sridevi’s charisma in the film.

Shekhar Kapoor told that when the film’s famous song ‘Kate Na Na Katte’ was being shot, Sridevi had 103 degree fever at that time. Despite this, he did not tell his condition to anyone and danced with full energy. Shekhar Kapoor said, ‘I later came to know about this from the choreographer. At that time, I could not believe that even in such a sick condition, someone can perform such a great performance.

Amar did the scene of Charlie Chaplin

The director further told that the comic scene of the film, in which Sridevi was seen in the style of Charlie Chaplin. That scene is still fresh in people’s memories. This idea was given by Shekhar Kapoor herself. He said that Sridevi should act like Chaplin by applying a mustache. Sridevi not only adopted it but also learned her style by watching Chaplin’s old films. As a result, the scene became the most memorable comic moment in the history of Hindi cinema.

Not only Boney Kapoor, Shekhar Kapoor also admitted that he had a deep crush on Sridevi. He told that Sridevi’s loyalty, trust and dedication impressed me a lot. He said that Sridevi was not just an actress for her, but was the soul of Mr. India. To be honest, Mr. India was actually Sridevi.

Flaws buried not only in India but also in China

During the film, Sridevi’s comic timing, her fearlessness and professionalism made her immortal in the hearts of the audience. This was the reason that ‘Mr. India’ was not only super hit in India but was also well liked in big markets like China. This film brought Sridevi to a new place. He was also awarded the Special Award at the 58th Filmfare Awards for his strong performance.
