India’s first sci-fi superhero — Mr India (1987) — will be back with new faces. The original film’s lead pair Anil Kapoor and Sridevi will reportedly be back as parents of the new hero, who inherits his dad’s device that turns him invisible to fight crime. Director Shekhar Kapur won’t return for the sequel. Actor Salman Khan is rumoured to play the villain.
G.One

Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who produced and starred in last year’s sci-fi 3D superhero flick, RA.One, is planning a sequel of the movie. Titled G.One, the 46-year-old actor is actively looking for a good script for the same at the moment. “There are some films which lend themselves to another part... RA.One is one of them. And I’ll be very upset if I don’t make one (sequel). But, I have to have a story idea first,” Shah Rukh Khan said.
