And now, Shekhar Kapur, the man who made the original classic, has given his reaction on the news. When a user pointed out his displeasure over the trilogy, by saying how it's a completely bad idea and will fail very badly, Kapur agreed to it.
This is what he had to say:
No one has even asked me or mentioned to me about this film called Mr India 2. I can only guess that they using the title to get a big weekend. For they cannot use the characters/story without permission from the original creators of the film. https://t.co/Set5eDH63j

Well, it indeed is a mammoth task to even think of replicating the cult of Mr. India and Zafar has taken a massive challenge as a filmmaker. All he has to do is just get the flavour and the essence of the original right.
