Bottom line, Anil wasn't informed about the project as it is now.
Also, Anil has scripts raining on him so it's not the lack of work that's hurting but that he wasn't made aware that his cult movie was being remade. Picking up one's phone isn't that difficult to prevent hurting their feeling.
Boney has been a terrible person in a lot of things in life. I don't even argue that. But Sonam isn't being completely honest here. They knew Mr. India was being rebooted - Boney was talking about it for a year publicly. What they didn't know is that Anil and his kids won't get to be a part of it.
Boney should have been nice and let them know but tell me this, do you think it would have changed anything? Sonam would have still been complaining about how they are not being involved when they have a moral right over the film. Informing or not informing hardly matters - it's just semantics. Boney informing them himself a few week ago that the film will happen with other actors would not have changed anything - it's not like Anil and Sonam and their family would have been satisfied. They would have still been angry because the fight isn't really about knowing or not knowing or being informed or not. It's about Anil and family wanting to be part of the film.
They may have other scripts but this is the type of film that could have relaunched Harsh into being a mainstream hero banking on nostalgia. If not Harsh, Sonam would have wanted an iconic role to her name. But Boney is obviously going to prefer his own daughter over his nieces and nephews. If Jaanu gets the Sridevi role, neither Harsh or Sonam would be able to do anything in the film.
