Zamaanat (And Justice For All) is a long-delayed Indian Hindi movie, directed by S. Ramanathan. He wanted to start the movie as early as 1989, but it was shelved for "unknown" reasons. Ten years later it was decided to work on the movie again. The film was launched in the mid-1999 year, and completed by around 2006-07 but has never been released; though it came close to release in 2009 and 2010. The working title of this movie was Aaryaman, but during production was changed to Zamaanat. It's the first time in Indian movie history to feature Actress Vijayshanti, who is known as Lady Amitabh Bachchan (for her macho roles in numerous films), and himself Amitabh Bachchan. it is the first time in his illustrious career Amitabh Bachchan portrays a crusading lawyer. though Bachchan donned the robes in Shootout at Lokhandwala- the portrayal of the lawyer in that movie was sedate when compared to Zamanant. It is hoped that this movie would be released eventually. An advocate named Shiv Shankar (Amitabh Bachchan) leaves his practice, after he loses his eyesight and becomes blind. Years later, a young girl named Kajol (Karisma Kapoor) approaches him to fight the case of her lover Suraj
