Mrityudaata (transl. Angel of Death) is a 1997 Indian Hindi-language action drama film directed by Mehul Kumar with music by Anand Milind. The film is considered to be a comeback role for Amitabh Bachchan, who temporarily left the industry in 1992. This film was produced by his own production company called Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL), which produced films like Tere Mere Sapne and distributed several films such as Kali Ratnam's Bombay Boy and Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen. It marked Amitabh Bachanan's comeback after five years, but was a flop at the box office. Sunny Deol was offered Arbaaz Ali Khan's role, but declined as he was shooting for the movie Border. One of the songs in the film picturized on Amitabh and Daler Mehndi was very popular when released.
