Ever since No Entry turned into a surprise money-spinner for producer Boney Kapoor, he has been lyring
surprisingly low.
Boney enjoys the joke. "Isn't that ironical? When my films weren't doing well I was releasing films almost
every other month. Now when I've a solid hit I've chosen to withdraw and gather together my thoughts, make
sure that my finances and creative departments are fully operational before launching into the
next."
The next Boney Kapoor production will be a sequel to No Entry...again directed by Anees Bazmi... "But
funnier, more savvy and crisp," promises Boney.
But the big one for Boney is a sequel to his 1987 mega-success Mr India. No, Shekhar Kapoor won't direct
the eagerly awaited sequel.
But Nikhil Advani currently fully into editing and marketing of Salaam-e-Ishq has been approached.
Admits Nikhil, "Yes I've been sounded out. Mr Boney Kapoor and I have had preliminary meetings. It would
be an honour to continue the Mr India story. I can't see myself being anywhere near Shekhar. And yes, I
can't see a Mr India sequel without Anil Kapoor and Sridevi."
Will Sridevi make a comeback in Mr India Part 2? Boney isn't averse to the idea. "It's a good possibility. I
feel Sri is looking her best and ready for a vehicle. But it has to be vehicle worthy of her, and Mr India is
certainly something she would be proud to do."
Speaking on his departure from South Indian remakes and his progress towards sequels Boney Kapoor
clarifies, "I agree sequels are now doing well. But I had decided to do a sequel to Mr India long ago. And the
minute No Entry worked I was all for a sequel."
