V. Ravichandran's ambitious 1991 pan-India project 'Shanti Kranti', starring superstars like Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna, faced a massive box office failure. Despite its high budget of 10 crore rupees and technical brilliance like using 25 cameras for the climax, the film only collected 8 crores. The failure was attributed to a weak script and over-expenditure.
