The story of the film was written in the year 1980 itself.
The film may have been released in 1987, but the writers of the film, Salim-Javed, had written the story of this film in the year 1980 itself. He had written this film keeping Amitabh Bachchan in mind, but when he narrated the story of the film to the actor, he refused the film due to his inability to appear on the screen, after which Salim-Javed became very sad. After this, when Boney Kapoor heard his story, he liked the idea and decided to make the film.

Sridevi had changed a special trend
During the period of 80-90, it was believed that the salary of an actor in a film is more than that of an actress, but Sridevi changed this particular trend with this film. He himself mentioned this during an interview. Miss Hawa-Hawai had told, ‘I was shooting a film in Chennai. Then Boney Kapoor contacted me and asked me to sign ‘Mr India’. At that time I sent him to meet my mother, who used to see all my film assignments. The actress told that when Boney Kapoor met my mother, she demanded double fee i.e. 10 lakh rupees for the film, because she wanted to get rid of this film, but Boney Kapoor gave my mother not 10 but 11 lakh rupees. Gave him a check and won his heart.

When Boney did the shooting with Sanjay Kapoor
Anil Kapoor and Sridevi worked together for the first time in ‘Mr. India’, but hardly you would know that Sanjay Kapoor is in place of Anil Kapoor in a scene of the film. Actually, what happened was that even a ration scene was yet to happen in the film, in which invisible Anil Kapoor delivers ration to all the poor. While shooting this, Anil was short of dates as he was busy shooting for another film. So Boney Kapoor took brother Sanjay Kapoor in the film and shot this scene with him only, but till date no one could know this secret.
