Wiki.

Shahenshah (transl. Emperor) is a 1988 Indian Hindi-language vigilante action crime drama film starring Amitabh Bachchan in the title role, along with Meenakshi Sheshadri. The film was produced and directed by Tinnu Anand. The story of the film was written by Amitabh Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan and the screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter Inder Raj Anand, who died before the film was released.

The film marked Bachchan's comeback to films after a three-year hiatus during which he had entered politics. Bachchan still had films releasing during the hiatus, as they were projects he had previously completed. The film became the third highest-grossing film in 1988. It is remembered for the famous dialogue "Rishte Mein To Hum Tumhare Baap Hote Hain, Naam Hai Shahenshah". The film is also remembered for Amitabh Bachchan's dual performances as a comic policeman and a crimefighting vigilante. Meenakshi Sheshadri's performance as the leading lady was also appreciated. The advance booking shattered all the records and in Shiela Cinema (Delhi) a crowd of 20,000 people had gathered for the first show.
