Rajavinte Makan (transl. The King's Son) is a 1986 Indian Malayalam-language gangster film directed and produced by Thampi Kannanthanam from a screenplay written by Dennis Joseph and based on the 1980 novel Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon.[1] It stars Mohanlal, Ratheesh, Ambika and Mohan Jose. In the film, Vincent Gomes sets out to exact revenge against Home Minister N. Krishnadas.
Kannanthanam's 1985 film Aa Neram Alppa Dooram was commercially unsuccessful, which jeopardised his career. This led him to create his own production company Sharon Pictures. It was shot extensively in and around Ernakulam. Filming began in early 1986 and took about one month to complete. The film was shot with a relatively small budget compared to films at the time as Kannanthanam was in financial crisis at the time. The soundtrack was composed by S. P. Venkatesh, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Jayanan Vincent and K. Sankunni.[2]
Rajavinte Makan was released on 16 July 1986 and became a turning point in Mohanlal's career as it catapulted him into superstardom in Kerala.[3][2] It was remade in Tamil as Makkal En Pakkam and in Kannada as Athiratha Maharatha. Ambika reprised her role in Tamil and Kannada versions.[4] It was also remade in Telugu as Aahuthi and in Hindi as Kanwarlal.[4]
