Anil Kapoor's 'Mr. India' is one of the cult movies. Anil played the titular character in Shekhar Kapur's directorial. Audiences loved the film and they want the sequel to be made. Well, thirty-six years later, Anil Kapoor has returned as Mr. India but not for the sequel. It's for a Google Pixel commercial. Fans are surprised to see how Anil still looks the same as he was in Mr. India. They have commented demanding the sequel of 'Mr India'. 

On Saturday, Anil took to his Instagram handle to share the video with the caption, “The beauty of time, the thing that makes it so precious, is that it never stands still. Our lives are full of highs and lows , appearances and disappearances… Mr. India is a phenomenon that even time could not erase, at once a ghost and the most real person I have ever played. And now, 38 years later, Mr. India is back with the Google #Pixel8! In flesh and unfiltered, just the time-tested and timeless soul of Arun Verma reappearing to entertain and thrill you. So watch this screen carefully because this superhero has been known to disappear at the drop of his hat (wink emoji).”

One fan wrote, “Just make the sequel already!,” while another commented, ''Mr India’s sequel should have come out already. Even this recreation in a mobile phone ad gave me goosebumps.”

Mr. India' was produced by Anil's elder brother Boney Kapoor. He took to X platform and hinted at a sequel as he shared the video and wrote, “Work in progress for a big screen appearance. #MrIndia #MrIndia2 @AnilKapoor.”

Shekhar Kapur also shared the video and wrote, “So #MrIndia decided to be invisible for the last 30 years and now suddenly re-emerged! How come he looks the same? Maybe the bracelet doesn’t just give you power of invisibility, but also eternal youth!”

'Mr. India' also starred Sridevi, Satish Kaushik, Amrish Puri, Annu Kapoor, Ahmed Khan, and Aftab Shivdasani among others.
