Ali Abbas Zafar says his Mr India is neither a remake nor a reboot

Director Ali Abbas Zafar, known for his big budget directorial Bharat, has finally opened up about his new project - Mr India. Months after he was slammed by Shekhar Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor for remaking the film without informing any of the original team members, Ali has now said that his film is "neither a remake nor a reboot of the original film".

The filmmaker told Mumbai Mirror in an interview, "It's a completely new film, we are just calling it Mr India. My film is essentially about the common man fighting a mighty villain, but done in a cool, hip way, using science and technology and being relevant to today's social scenario."
