‘Mr India’ was originally conceived for Amitabh Bachchan

Originally conceived for Amitabh Bachchan, 'Mr. India' stemmed from Salim-Javed's fascination with his voice, envisioning him as an invisible man. However, the project evolved after their split, with Javed Akhtar independently developing the script. Despite initial skepticism from the industry, Boney Kapoor recognized its potential, ultimately casting Anil Kapoor and Sridevi in the iconic film.
