It is well known that the uncrowned king of Tamil cinema, Superstar Rajinikanth, made a significant mark in Bollywood during the 1980s. One such film he acted in back in 1989 was shelved for various reasons. Now, after 37 years, that film is being brought back to life.

The movie, titled ‘Hum Bhi Shahenshah Kaun’, was directed by Harmesh Malhotra. Alongside Rajinikanth, the film features Bollywood legends Shatrughan Sinha and Hema Malini in lead roles.
