It is a 1978 Indian drama film, produced and directed by Prakash Mehra, and written by Kader Khan, Vijay Kaul and Laxmikant Sharma. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, in his fifth of nine films with Prakash Mehra to date, along with Vinod Khanna, Raakhee, Rekha, Amjad Khan, Kader Khan, Mayur Raj Verma and Nirupa Roy. The film tells of the story of Sikandar (played by Verma as a child and Bachchan as an adult), an orphan raised in the slums of Bombay.  (Source:Wikipedia).
