AK 47 (1999)

AK 47 is a 1999 Kannada action drama directed by Om Prakash Rao and starring Shivarajkumar as a young man from a law-abiding family whose life is turned upside down when he crosses the city's underworld. The film pits him against powerful dons and a system that cannot protect him, and builds to a confrontation in which he takes the law into his own hands.
