The film is based on an incident from the Mahabharata and also adapted from Girish Karnad's play "Fire in the Rain". It features Amitabh Bachchan in a cameo as Lord Indra, Jackie Shroff as the head priest Puravasu, and Raveena as his unfaithful wife in love with Yavakri, played by Nagarjuna.
The Fire and the Rain
In a parched realm, two vying priests, Yavakri and Parvasu, pursue their own means to win the favor of the rain deity, ultimately sparking a chain of illicit relationships, deceit, and bloodshed.
