Ghatak: Lethal is an Indian 1996 Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, starring Sunny Deol, Meenakshi Seshadri, Amrish Puri, and Danny Denzongpa.

Shambhu Nath, who was a freedom fighter awarded with the Tambra Patra, is an honourable and respectable man in town.

Katya and his brothers become enemies with Kashi when he beats up their goons in the process of roughing up Malti.

After a series of dramatic events, Shiv is run over to death by Jeena, one of Katya's brothers.

There he kills Jeena, thereby causing only two brothers to survive, including Katya; however, Kashi is captured in the process.

Kamal Haasan was originally signed to play the lead role and an advertisement was commissioned to appear in Screen magazine noting "Welcome back to the Hindi screen", pointing at the actor's return to Hindi films after 1985's Dekha Pyaar Tumhara.

However, due to no producer willing to back the actor in the film, Rajkumar Santoshi changed the star cast.
