New Delhi, Sep 22 - He was just nine when he played one of the orphan children in 'Mr India' and Aftab Shivdasani has great memories of it. With news that filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor is considering a sequel to the film, the 31-year-old actor says he would love to reprise Anil Kapoor's role in the 1987 hit.

'There is one role that I really wish to do in my career and that is to play Anil Kapoor's character in 'Mr India'. I wish I could do that. It was a great role and a great film,' Aftab told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

The actor had played orphan Jugal in the film that had made Amrish Puri's character Mogambo a household name.

Aftab worked as a child star in various other films too, including 'Shahenshah', 'Chaalbaaz' and 'C.I.D'.

Later he made his entry as the leading man with Ram Gopal Varma's 'Mast' (1999) opposite Urmila Matondkar. He then took a two-year sabbatical and returned with a more matured role in Vikram Bhatt's 'Kasoor'.

He has also worked in comedies such as 'Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega', 'Awara Paagal Deewana', 'Hungama' and 'Masti' and more recently 'Daddy Cool'.

The young actor is now looking forward to his forthcoming film 'Acid Factory', slated for an Oct 9 release.
