Famous Fan: Aftab Shivdasani

In a recent interview, actor Aftab Shivdasani said he was an admirer of Sridevi.

"I never really had a celebrity crush to be honest but of course, I was a huge fan of late Sridevi ma'am and had the opportunity to work with her in two films as a child artiste – 'Mr. India' and 'Chaalbaaz'.

From: The HansIndia.

PS: In both films, Sridevi did award-winning performances.

Sridevi and Anil Kapoor at MAMI 2015: The cast and crew of Mr India reunite: Discuss prospect of a sequel

The reunion of Mr India team on stage at MAMI 2015 was phenomenal! The cast and crew of the iconic Indian film met on stage after 27 years and the audience reaction brought down the house! When Anil Kapoor and Sridevi took the stage, the response was incredible. The beloved fantasy film - a firm favourite of innumerable children - was talked about at length. 

And the talks of Mr India 2, the highly anticipated sequel that's yet to launch, was brought up again. As producer Boney Kapoor pointed out, unless and until a solid script arises, the cast isn't stepping on set yet. And, Shekhar Kapur, the director was conspicuous in his absence. However, he did send a video taped message across for the team and the fans.

Boney Kapoor also said that it would be unlikely that Shekhar would direct the sequel as he's busy with other projects in Hollywood.
