Mashaal (lit. 'Torch') is a 1984 Bollywood action film. Produced and directed by Yash Chopra, it starred Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Anil Kapoor and Rati Agnihotri.[2][3] The role played by Anil Kapoor was first offered to Amitabh Bachchan and then to Kamal Haasan,[4] but after they declined the offer, the role went to Anil Kapoor. Vinod Kumar (Dilip Kumar) plays a respected, law-abiding citizen who turns to crime for exacting revenge. The movie was based on the Marathi play Ashroonchi Zhali Phule written by Marathi writer Vasant Kanetkar.[5] The movie was remade in Malayalam as Ithile Iniyum Varu with Mamooty playing the lead role.
