Shekhar Kapur has been really quick to be vocal about his displeasure over Mr. India's trilogy announced by Ali Abbas Zafar and Zee Studios. "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," Kapur had tweeted. It led to many conversations with Sonam siding with Kapur and alleging that Anil Kapoor too wasn't consulted. Now the director of the original film has decided to take legal action against the recreators and it seems he is getting help from fans of the movie across the world.
