Late Bollywood actor Sridevi did not want a sequel or recreation of her 1983 classic opposite Anil Kapoor, Mr India. While Anil played the titular role, Sridevi essayed the role of a chirpy journalist and also did two of her most iconic songs - Hawa Hawaai and Kaate Nahi Katate - in



the film. 

As per an Asian Age report, Sridevi had earlier said, “I don’t think that Mr India can be remade or turned into a sequel. Such a film just happens. When we were working on it, we never thought it would turn out to be such an influential film. Even today, people remember the film, Mogambo, and my character of the talkative journalist. Everything just came together. Such a happy situation is impossible to repeat.” Incidentally, the report came out on the second death anniversary of Sridevi.
