Shikari (transl."Hunter"), also known as Shikari: The Hunter in India and Po Zakonu Dzhungley (По закону джунглей, The Law of the Jungle) in the USSR, is a 1991 film,[1] jointly directed by Umesh Mehra and Latif Faiziyev, mostly shot in Russia, starring Mithun Chakraborty, Irina Kushnareva, Varsha Usgaonkar, Naseeruddin Shah, and Amrish Puri.[2]

It would be the third and last film where India and the USSR collaborated, though the latter would dissolute the same year.
