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, 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.
