Ghayal (transl. Wounded) is a 1990 Indian Hindi-language vigilante action film written and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi in his directorial debut and produced by Dharmendra. The film stars Sunny Deol and Meenakshi Seshadri, alongside an ensemble cast of Amrish Puri, Om Puri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Shafi Inamdar, Moushumi Chatterjee, Sudesh Berry, Annu Kapoor, and Sharat Saxena.

Production

Rajkumar Santoshi initially wanted to make the film with Kamal Haasan in the lead role, but was hesitant as the actor's previous Hindi films did not perform well. Then he subsequently approached Mithun Chakraborty for the role, who nodded to it and advised the former to make the film bilingually in Bengali and Hindi. Dharmendra proposed to Santoshi to make the film with Sunny Deol, and requested Chakraborty to leave the project.

In an unsubstantiated claim, Pakistani screenwriter Nasir Adeeb stated that he wrote the original story for Ghayal at the insistence of its producer, Dharmendra, who had previously remade some of Adeeb’s films.
