<p>He further wrote, “It is a huge responsibility to carry forward an iconic character that has been loved by Indians for so many years.

Sharing his discontentment, Shekhar said, “No one has even asked me or mentioned to me about this film called Mr. India 2. I can only guess that they using the title to get a big weekend. For they cannot use the characters/story without permission from the original creators of the film.”</p>
