Aaj Ka Arjun is a 1990 Hindi-language crime drama film, directed and produced by K.C. Bokadia and starring Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Prada. The film which was based on the 1988 Tamil film, En Thangachi Padichava follows the crux of the epic Mahabharata, but with its modified storyline through the perspective of Bhima and Arjuna, a deviation from the Vyasa's original version of the epic Mahabharata. The film took a record opening and proved to be a superhit at the box office thus temporarily reviving Bachchan's career who was going through a rough patch at that time.
