Nattukku Oru Nallavan (transl. A good man for the country) is a 1991 Tamil-language action film written, produced and directed by V. Ravichandran and also produced by N. Veersamai. The film stars Rajinikanth, Juhi Chawla, V. Ravichandran, Anant Nag and Khushbu.[1]
The film was simultaneously shot in Hindi as Shanti Kranti (transl. Peace and revolution) with a slightly different cast. The film marked the debut of popular Kannada actor Anant Nag in Tamil cinema as main antagonist. The music was composed by Hamsalekha.
The film was simultaneously released in Kannada and Telugu under the Shanti Kranti title in 1991. Nagarjuna was the lead in Telugu and Ravichandran was the lead in Kannada, while Rajinikanth was in the lead in Tamil and Hindi.
Despite a simultaneous Telugu film Shanti Kranti, the film was dubbed in Telugu as Police Bullet.[2] Incidentally, all the versions failed at the box-office.
Plot[edit]
Nattukku Oru Nallavan is the story of an honest police officer (Rajinikanth) and his fight against a dreaded criminal named Daddy (Anant Nag) who indulges in organ transplant mafia.
