Elaan is an action packed film featuring Arjun Rampal, John Abraham and Rahul Khanna, Lara Dutta, Amisha Patel and veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty.

Mithun plays Baba Sikander, the negative lead of the film. Drugs, Murder, Kidnapping are his game. Baba Sikander's very name strike fear, for he rules by fear.

Just his phone call can sound your death knell. He can finish one's life, while they're still alive. Or worse, sentence you to a living death. He recognizes no geographical boundaries for terrorism is his reign; he respects no international laws, for he makes his own.

One man, Kantilal Shah refuses to yield to his demands and pays the terrible price.

One man, Karan Shah (Rahul Khanna) will defy the improbable odds and make an impossible vow - he will capture the mighty Baba Sikander and drag him back to India, alive. This is his Elaan. He was once a street urchin selling tea in office. Now he's a business wiz kid and heir to a formidable empire.

Karan is hugely indebted to the man who gave him everything and asked for nothing in return – Mr Kantilal Shah.

Arjun Rampal is Arjun, a former cop who loved his work and excelled in it; till a deadly crossfire lost him his wife. He was forced to give up his job. But try as he might, he cannot give up his love for his country.

He has a severe hatred for violence and for all those who make a business of it. Formidable fighting skills and a cop's unerring instincts make him a lethal weapon. He can sense danger even before he sees it. His daring mind will devise incredible escapes and save everyone's lives, over and over again. His amazing courage will confound the enemy and earn him their grudging respect.

John Abraham is Abhimanyu. From a car driver, he become a petty criminal and then graduated to a drug dealer. But when for the first time in his life he tried to go straight, he was betrayed and imprisoned. An eternal Casanova, he loves money and freedom to be with the women.

Inside knowledge of the enemy's hideouts and most importantly, the enemy's psyche are his strengths. He is the modern day Abhimanyu who will lead the way in to the chakravyuh. So cockily confident is he, that he forgets the one essential - that if he knows the enemy; the enemy too knows him!

Lara Dutta is Sonia, a beautiful bar dancer, whose innocence and faith will unwittingly put everybody's life in the greatest danger of all.

Her unshakeable faith that Abhimanyu will give up a life of crime for her sake is her driving force. She has the courage to stand by her man even when digging her own grave and facing a chilly death.

Finally, Amisha Patel is Priya. She's an intrepid and enterprising TV reporter, who will stop at nothing to get a sensational story for her channel. She will nose around, eavesdrop and even try a spot of blackmail – all in the line of duty!

She has a fascination for the enigmatic Karan and her desire to break the story of the century. Aprt from being a talented reporter she also has a amazing satellite tracking system know how.

Produced by a reputed production house, Venus, Elaan is dircted by Vikram Bhatt.
