Engineer is a shelved Indian Tamil-language film directed by Gandhi Krishna and written by Sujatha originally slated to be released in 1999.
[1] Based on the true incidents revolving around the Sardar Sarovar Dam project, the film would have starred Arvind Swamy and Madhuri Dixit, with music composed by A.R.
[6] After the Supreme Court order on the Sardar Sarovar dam project, Gandhi approached Dixit with renewed interest and she agreed to play the role, thus marking her debut in Tamil cinema.
[11] Director Shankar, mentor of Gandhi Krishna, attempted to revive the project through his production house, as well as producer Kalaippuli S. Thanu, but was unsuccessful in doing so.
The other venture, Azhagam Perumal's Mudhal Mudhalaaga had also featured music by A. R. Rahman and a leading Hindi actress Karisma Kapoor, like Engineer.
