Shanti Kranti
Shanti Kranti (/ʃɑːnθi krɑːnθi/ transl. Peace and Revolution) is a 1991 Indian action crime film written, directed and produced by V. Ravichandran. The film was simultaneously made in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi languages.
Ravichandran played the lead role in the original Kannada version, while Nagarjuna starred in the Telugu version, and Rajinikanth did so in Tamil and Hindi. The Tamil version was titled Nattukku Oru Nallavan. The film's ensemble cast includes Juhi Chawla, Ramesh Aravind, Khushbu, Anant Nag, Babu Antony, Y. Vijaya and Baby Sangita. Chawla, Anant Nag, and Khushbu appeared in all four versions of the film. Ravichandran additionally portrayed Ramesh Aravind's role in the Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi versions.
The Telugu and Kannada versions of the film were released on 19 September 1991, followed by the release of the Tamil and Hindi versions on 2 October 1991. Despite its ambitious multilingual production and the inclusion of prominent actors, Shanti Kranti failed commercially in all languages.
The film follows Inspector Subhash, who uncovers the sinister operations of a man named Daddy, who outwardly runs an ashram for children but is secretly involved in organ trafficking, particularly exploiting the children under his care. Subhash teams up with his friend, Inspector Bharath, to bring Daddy to justice.
Subhash's girlfriend Jyoti, who works at the ashram, aids in the investigation but is ultimately captured and killed by Daddy. Driven by grief and anger, Subhash enlists the help of the ashram's children to dismantle Daddy's operations. In the climactic confrontation, Subhash avenges Jyoti's death by defeating Daddy and putting an end to his criminal empire.
Shanti Kranti was announced by V. Ravichandran as one of the most expensive projects of his career. He decided to direct the film in four languages—Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. The Tamil version was titled Naattukku Oru Nallavan. Rajinikanth was cast in the lead role for the Tamil and Hindi versions, while Nagarjuna was chosen for the Telugu version, and Ravichandran himself played the lead in the Kannada version. Bullet Prakash, who went on to become a famous comedian in Kannada cinema, made his acting debut as child artist with the Kannada version of this film.
The film was launched on 14 November 1988, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, at Kanteerava Studios. The launch event was attended by journalists from various languages, who were shown Ravichandran's previous films Premaloka (1987) and Ranadheera (1988) before engaging in discussions with the director.
The film faced several production challenges. During the early stages of shooting, Ravichandran became concerned about the direction of the film. After 10 days of shooting, he felt that the story was not progressing as expected and doubted whether the project would succeed. Despite these reservations, Ravichandran continued with the film, motivated by the encouragement of his father, Veeraswamy, who was producing the film. In a conversation with his father, Ravichandran expressed his intention to quit, citing production difficulties. However, his father advised him against giving up, reminding him of the commitments made to the actors, including Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna, and the film's importance as a prestige project for Eswari Productions. His father urged him to finish the film, as backing out would reflect poorly on the production company.
