Anil Kapoor excited to meet ‘Mr India’ cast

Anil Kapoor is really getting restless to meet the team behind his iconic movie ‘Mr. India’, directed by Shekhar Kapur, at the Movie Mela in this year’s Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, which is scheduled to begin later this month.

The fest is co-hosted by Star India which will be a one-day celebration of cinema. The platform has been specially established just to give a chance to moviegoers to connect with their favourite actos and films. This year, Kapoor and his former co-star Sridevi along with Satish Kaushik and producer Boney Kapoor will journey back in time to share their experiences from the making of the much loved 1987 cult classic ‘Mr India’. He told IANS, “I am delighted to be a part of the Movie Mela. This unique concept of an all encompassing cinematic celebration in a typically Indian style is exciting! ‘Mr. India’ is definitely one of the most loved films in the country; I can’t wait for our cast reunion.”

“It’s also a special film because my character, Arun Verma had an instant connect with fans across the sub-continent because of his warmth and humble nature,” he said.

The event will held on 31st October at Mehboob Studio, which will turn into a movie carnival with figurines of famous movie characters, movie merchandising and movie conversations with top of the line celebrities through the day.
