Ali Abbas Zafar's next project is going to be the Mr India trilogy that will be mounted on a huge scale. As the news broke out, there was a backlash from the makers of the original. Anil Kapoor's daughter Sonam K Ahuja even criticised the "underhanded" manner in which the remake was conceived of without the knowledge of the original film's leading man. Director Shekhar Kapur had also joined the chorus.
Now, Zafar has said that his film is 'neither a remake nor a reboot of the original film'. Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, the director said, "It’s a completely new film, we are just calling it Mr India. My film is essentially about the common man fighting a mighty villain, but done in a cool, hip way, using science and technology and being relevant to today's social scenario."
