Akayla (transl. Alone) is a 1991 Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Ramesh Sippy and produced by the Mushir - Riaz duo. It featured an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Amrita Singh, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Aditya Pancholi, Kiran Juneja, Keith Stevenson (in his debut) as the primary antagonist in a dual role, and Shashi Kapoor in an extended special appearance. It was the fourth and final collaboration between Bachchan and Ramesh Sippy after Sholay (1975), Shaan (1980) and Shakti (1982). It also marked the former's last onscreen collaboration with Sheshadri and Kapoor and his first one with Shroff, they would later work together in films like Eklavya (2007) and Sarkar 3 (2017). Also, it was the second time Singh and Sheshadri featured together, the first film being Toofan (1989) which also starred Bachchan in the lead role. It was loosely based on Dirty Harry (1971). Akayla released worldwide on 8 November 1991. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Bachchan and Singh's performances, but criticism for the predictable plot and Stevenson's performance. Commercially, the film was a moderate success and the 7th highest-grossing Hindi-language film of 1991.
