After the success of Masoom, a drama about a couple dealing with a failing marriage, people were curious to know what Shekhar Kapur does next as a filmmaker. Four years later, he teamed up with Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar to give Hindi Cinema one of its first Sci-Fi film, Mr. India. It had Anil Kapoor and Sridevi in lead roles, the two biggest stars of the industry at that time.

The making of this giant of an idea was as complicated as historic its success turned out to be. Kapur mounted the film on an unprecedented scale that was never heard or seen on the Indian celluloid. It was a film about a man who discovers the formula of invisibility. And on the other hand was the antagonist, Mogambo, played by the inimitable Amrish Puri, who wants to wreak havoc in the country with that very same formula. It was your perfect Good v/s Evil battle laced with multiple masala moments one needs to make a film of such scale and narrative work.
