Kshatriya (film)

Kshatriya (transl. Warriors) is a 1993 Indian Hindi-language epicaction drama film directed and written by J. P. Dutta. It stars an ensemble cast of Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Meenakshi Seshadri, Raveena Tandon, Divya Bharti, Rakhee Gulzar, Sumalatha, Kabir Bedi, Puneet Issar and Prem Chopra, with Sunil Dutt in a special appearance.

It was released worldwide on 26 March 26 1993.

Kshatriya is considered a unique case in Bollywood history where a massive, star-studded production was derailed not by its content, but by real-world events. Upon its release, the film registered record-breaking opening figures and was on a commercial trajectory toward blockbuster status. However, the film's theatrical run was abruptly cut short across India following the arrest of one of its lead actors, leading to its premature withdrawal from cinemas.
