Sonam Kapoor too had expressed dismay saying that she and her father, Anil Kapoor got to know about the Mr India remake only after Ali Abbas Zafar announced it on the social media. Interestingly, neither producer Boney Kapoor and the cast of the film nor Zafar has reacted to the whole controversy yet. Zee Studios are backing this project.
