Mumbai, August 28
Boney Kapoor took fans down memory lane as he dropped a throwback picture from the movie Mr India. This film, starring Sridevi and Anil Kapoor, is considered one of the most iconic movies in Indian cinema.
Taking to his Instagram account on Wednesday, Boney shared a black-and-white picture that was taken just before the movie's shoot began in 1985.
In the photo, Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, and writer Javed Akhtar can be seen together.
Anil can be seen dressed in a style very similar to his look in the film, while Sridevi is seen wearing a long dress. The men, including Javed Akhtar, can be seen dressed in white shirts and jeans. Boney too looks no less than a hero.
Along with the picture, Boney added a picture that read, "January 5th 1985 Just before first day shoot 'Mr India'."

Soon after Boney added the picture, fans chimed in the comment section.
One fan wrote, "My favorite childhood film. Part 2 is needed. Anil Kapoor ji and Ranveer Singh as a villain."
Another fan commented, "The winning team of India's best children's film."
A third fan added, "Mr. India 2, please, sir."
"Anil still looks the same," penned another fan.
Mr India was jointly produced by Boney Kapoor and Surinder Kapoor under the Narsimha Enterprises banner. Directed by Shekhar Kapur, the film was a superhero story written by the famous duo Salim-Javed. This movie was their last project together before their split. The music, composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, was also a hit, making Mr. India the second highest-grossing film of 1987.
