On October 20, Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor surprised the Instagram by wiping out all his posts, including his profile picture, on the platform. With his sudden move, his 5 million followers were left questioning whether his account had been hacked or if it was hinting at something bigger. Speculations immediately, suggested that this could be a lead-up to the 'Mr. India 2' announcement.

Anil Kapoor's social media disappearance invited theories that it might be a strategic move to build excitement for the sequel to the iconic 1987 movie, 'Mr. India,' where he portrayed the character of Arun Verma. Directed by Shekhar Kapur, the original film featured a notable cast including the late Sridevi, Satish Kaushik, Harish Patel, Annu Kapoor, and Amrish Puri.

Boney Kapoor, the producer of the original 'Mr. India,' shed some light on the situation in a recent interview with News18. He hinted, "Anil Kapoor has gone 'invisible' on social media as a way to kick off Mr. India 2. Like his character in Mr. India (1987), he is going invisible on social media." This statement fueled further speculation that the actor's social media cleanse might be a deliberate strategy to generate anticipation for 'Mr. India 2.'

Despite the growing speculation, Boney Kapoor has remained tight-lipped about 'Mr. India 2' and emphasized that he would not disclose any details until he personally understood Anil Kapoor's intentions behind his Instagram activity. "Let me see, I haven’t seen it myself. But he did mention to me that he wants to show me something. I don’t think I will be able to talk about (Mr. India 2's announcement) until everything matures," he stated.

The original 'Mr. India' holds a special place in the hearts of Bollywood enthusiasts, having been one of the biggest hits of 1987. Anil Kapoor's portrayal of Arun Verma and Sridevi's role as a tenacious journalist left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. The film's supporting cast, including Satish Kaushik, Harish Patel, Annu Kapoor, and Amrish Puri, also contributed to its legendary status.

Anil Kapoor's daughter, Sonam Kapoor, also joined the speculation, sharing a screenshot of her father's empty Instagram profile on her own Instagram story, captioning it simply with a poignant "Dad?" This post echoed the curiosity and bewilderment shared by fans and family members alike.

As Anil Kapoor's Instagram page continues to remain a blank canvas, fans eagerly await the big reveal. The 'Mr. India 2' speculation continues to grow, and until Anil Kapoor reappears on social media, the mystery remains unsolved. Time will tell whether this 'invisible' act indeed leads to the long-awaited sequel, and we'll be here to keep you updated.
