Production
V. Ravichandran announced that Shanti Kranti will be an expensive project in his career. He decided to direct in four languages — Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. The Tamil version was titled Naattukku Oru Nallavan. Rajinikanth played the lead in Hindi and Tamil, while Nagarjuna was in Telugu and Ravichandran himself in Kannada.[3] Rajinikanth initially refused to do the project as he was required to give 100 days call sheet, but accepted after hearing the story.[4] The film was launched at 14 November 1988 on the hundredth birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru at Kanteerava Studios alongside other language versions of the film.[5] Bullet Prakash, who went on to become a famous comedian in Kannada cinema, made his acting debut as child artist with this film.[6] Despite beginning production in 1988, it took at least two years to complete.[7]

Hamsalekha composed the music for the film and the soundtracks.

Release
Deccan Herald wrote "It was a visual spectacle no doubt, but the narrative lost sight of its subject---the organ transplant mafia".[1] The film became a failure in all four languages. It's failure put Ravichandran in financial distress "forcing him to rely on remakes of hit Tamil and Telugu films" which resurrected his career.
