'Mr.India' was for Big B!

One of the landmark movies in the Bollywood history, 'Mr.India' was originally meant for none other than the mega-star Amitabh Bachchan. Shekhar Kapur's 'Mr India' which had Anil Kapoor and Sridevi in lead roles was originally scripted for Amitabh Bachchan. Even the content of the script was written keeping in mind Big B's voice. But considering the 'invisible' role Big B refused to be 'Mr.India'.

Anil Kapoor was approached for the role after Big B's 'no', he accepted the role and rest is history. Known for the science-fiction based theme mixed with patriotic tinge, the movie gave Anil Kapoor's bollywood career a boost. Sridevi also became an overnight sensation  after this movie.

Well thats what we call somebody's loss is someone else's gain!!!
