Here's why Satish Kaushik doesn't want anyone to remake 'Mr India'

Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Amrish Puri and Satish Kaushik and Satish Kaushik starrer ‘Mr India’ marked 35 years of its release on May 25. The film was packed with drama, humour and romance. Apart from Anil Kapoor and Sridevi's chemistry, Amrish Puri delivered an iconic act as Mogambo, while Satish Kaushik essayed Calendar.

Talking about the classic completing 35 years, Satish Kaushik, who was associate director on the movie insists why it shouldn't be remade.He says, "In my personal opinion, there are a few films which shouldn't be touched, whether it's for a remake or sequel. 'Mr. India' is one such film which I feel shouldn't be remade as it will not have the same feel."
"Mr. India was an amalgamation of fine artists collaborating to create a good entertaining film. Right from Shekhar Kapur to Boney Kapoor, Javed Akhtar to special effects, action directors and the cast and crew, including cinematographer Baba Azmi, action director Veeru Devgan, Peter Periera (Special Effects Camera), Art Director Bijon Das Gupta, choreographer Saroj Khan and music composers Laxmikant Pyarelal, everybody believed in the project and put in a lot of effort and there was good team work. It's such an iconic film with such great legacy that if it ever comes out then it can only be pulled off by Anil Kapoor, and no other actor," the veteran actor adds.
Filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar had announced a couple of years back that he was making a film titled 'Mr India', however, he had also clarified that his project was neither a remake nor a reboot of the original film.
