Mr. India debate is getting hotter and heated. Ali Abbas Zafar announced he is making a trilogy on Mr India with Zee Studios and all hell broke loose. Shekhar Kapur was 'amazed' that nobody sought his permission while Javed Akhtar felt the makers shouldn't. Sonam Kapoor too joined in calling it disrespectful and underhanded towards Anil Kapoor in a tweet. While she battles on, Twitter users have an important question for her. Boney Kapoor is co-producing the trilogy as well and they want to know if she spoke to her uncle about it. Sonam Kapoor Slams Ali Abbas Zafar for Making a Trilogy on Anil Kapoor’s Mr India, Says ‘It’s Disrespectful and Underhanded
Many tweeted that they felt the same way when Kumar Sanu's Dheere dheere se from Aashiqui (1990) was remixed with Hrithik Roshan and Sonam in the lead. Now to give credit where it is due, every time a user tried to pull her down by mentioning films like Khoobsurat, Anil Kapoor's 24, Sonam shot them down with her perfect replies. Here's a mixed bag of the same.
Exactly what I felt for Kumar Sanu when Honey Singh's Dheere Dheere had come out.

Well, Mr India remake has created controversy even before the cast is finalised. We are pretty sure this won't be the last either.
