While Bollywood films have come a long way in the last decade or so, one department that we’re still lacking in is superheroes. While there have been plenty of attempts, unfortunately most of them failed to impress the audience as much as those coming from the likes of Marvel and DC. Ali Abbas Zafar is looking to change that with his next flick with Katrina Kaif. Not only that, the director hopes to make his very own superhero universe starting from this project.
In an interview with a leading daily, the director confirmed that he is in the process of developing a superhero universe and it will kick off with Katrina’s film with him. Talking about the superhero universe, Ali said, “Yes, I am creating a superhero universe, beginning with Katrina’s film. We then move to Mr India, which will carry forward bits from Katrina’s film, and we are developing two more characters. My third superhero is rooted in Indian mythology and the fourth comes from the Indian army.”
Ali also faced backlash when the news of Mr.India’s remake broke. The director also spoke about how he wants pay a tribute to the original and does not intend to play with it in any way, “My Mr India is neither a remake nor a reboot of the original film. 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.”
It’s high time Bollywood had its very own superhero universe and we’re glad that Ali is taking the initiative.
