Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Removed text

Nayak: The Real Hero is a 2001 Indian Hindi-language political action thriller film directed by S. Shankar and starring Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever . The film is a remake of S. Shankar's own successful Tamil film Mudhalvan (1999). The film's score and soundtrack, composed by A. R. Rahman, were reused from Mudhalvan with Hindi lyrics. The performances of the cast and the film were critically acclaimed and it has since developed a mass cult following among audience. The film was a box-office failure, primarily because of poor marketing. It was one of the most expensive films to be completely shot in India. Over the years it has emerged as a cult film due to its strong fan following. At the same time the film was remade in Bangladesh named Minister directed by Kazi Hayat starring Manna (actor), Moushumi, Dildar and Kazi Hayat.

The protagonist's character name "Shivaji Rao" was specially named after Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth's real name. This was because the lead role was initially written with Rajinikanth in mind for the original Tamil version, however, his refusal led to Shankar later signing on Arjun and he had retained the character's name in the Hindi version.

Shankar first approached Shah Rukh Khan for the lead role and paid the actor an advance, before he later opted out. Originally the first choice for the role of Manjari was Manisha Koirala who was going to reprise her role from Mudhalvan, but was busy with multi-starrer films like Grahan and Lajja so refused. Later on the role was played by Rani Mukerji after Karisma Kapoor, Tabu, Raveena Tandon and Preity Zinta all had date issues. The inaugural shot of Nayak was done on 15 July 2000 by Rakesh Roshan. Filming began on 18 December in Mumbai.
