Interesting facts

Bloodstone is a 1988 action-adventure film produced by Ashok Amritraj and Sunanda Murali Manohar, directed by Dwight H. Little and written by Nico Mastorakis. Starring Rajinikanth, Brett Stimely and Anna Nicholas, the film was shot primarily in India. The story revolves around a mythical ruby called the "bloodstone".

Production

The film was mainly shot in Bangalore. According to an interview with director Dwight Little, the film's producer, Nico Mastorakis, was set to direct the film himself. For reasons unknown, Mastorakis couldn't go to India himself, so he started looking around for a non-union director who had experience with action. Because Little had just made the action film Getting Even, he was hired.

After finishing a rough cut of the film, Little and Mastorakis had creative differences, with Mastorakis finalising the film and Little not involved in the final cut.
